| Publisher Description: What power, to hold in one's own hands the ability to affect the present by altering the past ... In the twenty-second century the world population has dwindled to fewer than a billion, with total extinction expected within a decade. Chaotic Theory centers around three profiles of a solitary individual, Antanas Rupkus, a young Lithuanian. In one he is a musician endeavoring to keep alive the work of American jazz musicians of the twentieth century. Stoic and aimless, Antanas is incapable of intimacy the result of having witnessed, as a boy, his parents killed by Estonian immigrants in search of fresh water. In another profile, Antanas is a sculptor, filled with hope and the belief that love can overcome all obstacles, until he loses the object of both his inspiration and desire. In the third, he is a writer whose essays accurately define the mid to late twentieth century as the point in history that set man on the path to extinction. But alas, his wisdom comes too late ... if only Antanas had lived two hundred years earlier ... but perhaps he can, if what Kazys Galdikas tells him is true ... This edition contains a new afterword by the author. |
