2084

Andrew Caro has had a varied career - business man, part business owner, academic and management consultant, even once a failed aspirant for State Parliament. He has written three books. ‘With a Straight Bat’ a book on cricket, written after his stint as Managing Director of World Series Cricket. ‘Management in a Changing Society - an Australian Perspective’, a textbook published by Prentice Hall for the Business degree at UTS Sydney. Last year Andrew published his first book of fiction, ‘Many Happy Returns and other stories’. He has a further book of short stories in the pipeline as well as a book of literary criticism with the working title ‘Why I love Literature’. ‘2084’, the title, pays homage to George Orwell’s great novel ‘1984’ which was a warning to the world of the dangers of totalitarianism. ‘2084’ deals with a modern worldwide concern, - the difficulty individuals and governments have in recognizing the essential humanity of the millions of refugees homeless, helpless and discarded whose cries for help are largely ignored.
