Xen -- a satire about the new world order
by D. J. Solomon
The end of hate & prejudice...begins with you!
Recent generations of world leaders have
deliberated on the unification of humanity, making
insomniacs of the masses drawn to conspiracy
theories. Their symbiotic angst proves unfounded in
this satire that commemorates the ascent of an age
of reason through interwoven parables. What if half
the world’s population will perish before morning,
culled by a single common trait? In the
establishment of the new world order, would you be
one of the chosen?
