The end of hate & prejudice...begins with you!
As the “last testament of mankind,” XEN recounts
how civilization evolved, no longer shackled by hate
and prejudice. The ten parables conclude that
mankind was inherently flawed and had to be
scrapped for a superior species empowered by
women. Hence, humanity becomes hufemity.
It is satire and social commentary in the style of Mark
Twain’s Letters from the Earth as well as absurdist
and iconoclastic like Tom Robbins’ Another Roadside
Attraction.
