The Seventh Traveler

"The Seventh Traveler" tells the tale of a boy born in a depleted manufacturing town,in central New York, in the year 2020. In 2078, he reflects back on his life’s journey, dramatized by overpopulation, wealth disparity, social upheaval, violence, corporate control, religious fanaticism, sabotage, biotechnological manipulations, climate change, and natural disasters. Through his life we experience this new world disorder, where all electronic communications are subject to surveillance, falsified information is epidemic, spy drones network the sky, and lying is considered a necessary survival skill that is legalized as one’s right to free speech. Those who abandon the spiraling rat race dilemma to wander alone are known as Travelers, individuals whose first hand accounts of where they’ve been,and what they’ve witnessed, are welcomed at any campfire.
