Alistair's World

About the Book

Influenced by his brilliant college professor, Alistair is convinced that all living things are subjected to the natural rhythms and symmetries of the Universe,governed by a set of fixed scientific laws determined some relatively short time after the first primordial explosion. Written mathematics and music are simply universal languages invented by humans millions of years later and provide indisputable proof that these laws exist today. However Alistair discovers many of those humans that persist in defying the laws of nature are slowly driving the rest of the world towards mental instability and inevitable chaos. After developing an interest in applied mathematics and electronic engineering, he launches himself on a mission ´To export British manufactured goods and sevices across the globe´ only to find that politicians and others are continually frustrating his efforts.
