For 15 years I've tried to make my book, "Reality Check," a success. In light of the high praise many had given me for it I had expected to find a publisher easily and then see it fly off of the shelves. Half the reason I had expected it to have a mass appeal was because half of it incorporates material from pop culture and academic icons-- Chomsky, Sagan, Carlin, Goodall, Soros, Orwell, Marx, Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Paine, William James, Sting, The Beatles, Billy Bragg, Tracy Chapman, "Star Trek," SEINFELD, Superman/Christopher Reeve, "Back to the Future,""Calvin and Hobbes" and "The Simpsons."
In those 15 years it became more and more relevant as economic disparity grew and Mother Nature sustained an ever-increasing assault. When the Occupy Movement had its inception I had figured that my time had finally come since the book encompasses all of the same principles, and then some. Yet I'm still floundering to get it the publicity it needs.
