About the Book

Science fiction/ Politics/ Religion/ HumorCould there have been a civilization that reached our level of technological development long ago? Once upon a time could there have also lived people with computers, the internet, e-mail and the rest of it? Could the story of what happened to them hold a lesson for us amid predictions of either global disaster or emergence into a wondrous new world for the fateful year 2012?From the discovery in a cave high in the Himalayas of an ancient artifact containing the map of a mysterious and hitherto unknown land has emerged the tale of the radically different, but somehow horribly familiar, people of the noble village of Osanto, the vicious village of Snarlsgrrrr, and the woeful village of Mystifu.Did defeat for Snarlsgrrrr thousands of years ago foreshadow a solution for the environmental, political, economic, and moral mess we're in today? Could what Osanto and Mystifu did work for us?With an adroit imagination, The Parable of the Three Villages takes us along the path for biting political commentary blazed earlier by Dean Swift in Gulliver's Travels and Lewis Carroll in Alice in Wonderland, then picked up for the 20th century by George Orwell in 1984, Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, Sinclair Lewis in It Can't Happen Here, and-particularly pertinent today-Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Herland, Huxley again in Island, and James Hilton in Lost Horizon. Updating the vivid moral and narrative power of these classics for the 21st century, award-winning scientist and author David Loye goes to the heart of the American and world problematique with a spellbinding mix of humor and sober scientific and spiritual fact.A First Collector's Edition for what could become another enduring classic.Author of the award-winning The Healing of a Nation, David Loye is an internationally known evolutionary systems scientist, psychologist, and former Princeton and UCLA School of Medicine faculty member. He is a co-founder of three multinational organizations for advanced evolution and education research, founder of the multinational Darwin Project, and founder of the new online reconstruction of the ancient University of Osanto (see www.osantouniversity.com).
