Called the 99% solution, The Dirties calls out to a society in turmoil. It is both a great read and an answer to the inequity and loss we face as a society. Read how this prophetic novel meets the challenge of our times, and points to an answer. An answer without bloodshed, class warfare, or the need for a schism, The Dirties takes us to our roots as a nation--and in doing so--lays out a path for our return to greatness.
The corporate tit turned away from the masses, then disappeared. With the demise of the middle class in the third decade of the 21st century, chaos spread quickly as poverty and disease grew. Anger erupted. Another barrier was required.
The Redding Wall rises three hundred feet from the ground. The barricade in Northern California uses the remains of the consumer civilization to protect those that brought down civilized society. Brownish gray in color with black shadows from its rain of weapons, an odor of filth radiates from the Wall, a ghostly extension of its immense core.
With a base is as wide as it is tall, the pyramid-shaped wall wears a flat top of weapons and protruding perches for armaments, surveillance, and assault counter measures–as well as air conditioned cubes for black glass sport courts, swimming pools, and bicycle trails running along the peak. The perches run the entire length of the Wall’s peak from the Pacific Ocean to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The rectangular-snouts of the guard towers and their blinking red lights, flame throwers and Gatling guns could probably have guarded hell from God’s avenging angels. And the Dirties never stop trying. The guard towers observe in the dark, in the fog, in the most blustery of west coast storms. The men and women who work in the towers see themselves as all knowing–and all powerful–ready to kill any threat to their peace and security.
Not surprisingly, the Redding Wall has become a lens, a focus of anger for billions of people around the planet. Millions arrive on the American shores every month, in an ironic parody of the American dream of centuries past. They come not to enjoy the gift of wealth, but to destroy it. Everyone wants a piece of the American Nightmare–not own it–but to annihilate the madness that has taken over a once great dream of freedom and human dignity.
After ten years, the Redding Wall stands as a tribute to technology and engineering. But like an old headstone, it is scared by time. Another Wall is under development.
