| Publisher Description: This is David Satterlee's second book of collected essays. Most examine values, virtues and ideas that are important to living together well in our developing societies. These values are often denounced out-of-hand by those who cling to old ideas that no longer serve the needs of a changing world. David focuses on important issues affecting our future as individuals, families, communities and societies. David leads off with "Superman is a Liberal," and continues to explore optimism, how our stories affect our beliefs and our relationship to computers and "Big Data." Another set explores "real war," drones, and terrorism. "David isn't afraid of religion, politics or self-inquiry. He is variously father, teacher, friend, inquisitor and voice crying out in the wilderness. He discusses, lectures, teases and rants, but always in a conversational adult voice." |
