Governments, including his own, would go to any lengths to obtain his software, as would an individual with agendas of his own.Should Alan give in and just sell it to one of them, whatever the consequences, or should he disappear into the countryside and hide? Or perhaps he could just destroy everything he has worked for.But it is a hard thing to destroy your own brainchild, and what would happen if he secretly continued to develop his Doomsday Machine in the hope that he could restrict its use for the good of mankind?

This is an epic tale of a global community, exploring the evolution of humanity, told by the People of Earth.

From first time children's author David Sayre and award-winning illustrator Rebecca Emberley comes a story of our place in the universe as experienced by Owuza and his Flatlander friends. Follow along as they explore Flatland and its limits, discovering themselves in the process. This story may take you beyond your ordinary experience and open discussion about where "here" is, what is out "there," and what happens when people and things we love are no longer where we can see them. Emberley's gorgeous, tapestry-like depictions of Flatland are a perfect foil for Sayre's deep, yet simple story. www.twolittlebirdsbooks.com

A companion work to Flatland (Sayre/Emberley, 2014), these dialogues offer meaning, comfort, and direction to a world at risk of losing its faith. From the latest science and our places of greatest striving, an expert on the reduction of entropy offers a reality that is rational, faithful, and hopeful. The inventor of "chirp" FM radio and a standard energy-saving contract, Sayre has formed a dozen companies around the sciences of communication, rehabilitation, and energy. These have made him expert in reducing "entropy," the measure of both decay and ignorance--and that is how scientists would detect intelligent life, anywhere in the universe.
