A smart, small, provocative techno-thriller directly out of the very near future - by an iconic visionary copy writer. Some individuals call it "abyss gaze". Gaze into the abyss all day and the abyss will gaze into you. You will discover two types of men and women who think skillfully about the near future: Foresight strategists are civil futurists who think about geoengineering and smart metropolitan areas and ways to evade Our Approaching Doom; strategic forecasters are spook futurists, who think about geopolitical upheaval and drone warfare and ways to prepare clients for Our Approaching Doom. The former are paid by nonprofits and charities, the second option by global security teams and commercial think tanks. For both types, if you are good at it, and you spend your days and nights carrying it out, then it's something you can't do for long. Despair units in. Mental health issues festers. Of course, if the abyss gaze requires hold there's only one place to restore: Normal Brain, in the wilds of Oregon, within the secure perimeter of your experimental forest.
