For fans of Cloud Atlas and Station Eleven, a spellbinding and profoundly prescient debut that follows a cast of intricately linked characters over hundreds of years as humanity struggles to rebuild itself in the aftermath of a climate plague--a daring and deeply heartfelt work of mind-bending imagination from a singular new voice.

Readymade man: The anticonformist visionaryMarcel Duchamp (1887—1968), revolutionary artist, inventor of readymades, obsessive chess player, and master of the silent statement, succeeded at the beginning of the 20th century to query art in its traditional form. His creations, not least his readymades such as the famous Fountain (a “reclaimed” urinal) or theBottle Rack, are subversive and radical upshots of a critical confrontation with the production and marketing of art in the industrial age. While the young Duchamp still admired Monet, Fauvism, and Cubism, and for a while was quite closely aligned with the Dadaists and Surrealists, before long his work broke new ground and helped redefine art as we know it today.The fact that Duchamp wanted to ensure that the self-irony and doubt, particularly in his own works, were constructively understood is best shown in one of his few statements on the subject: “I force myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.” D

Author Ron Harmon does an unparalleled performance of presenting the suppressors and the distractors of the Truth along with the torch bearers of the Truth in his new book The 7th Day Humbling of Mankind. The 7th Day Humbling of Mankind will be the change that ushers America into a New World Government along with a One World Religion that will be the beginning of the end of the age. The Spirit of Truth will be revealed; deception will be exposed!In our abundance and wealth, Americans have become arrogant, haughty, over confident, and rebellious. We have no respect, appreciation, or concern for our forefather's dreams. Americans truly “sit down to eat and drink, and rise up to play.” We have put our confidence in man rather than our trusting in our God. In our own conceit and vanity, we defy and challenge our Creator. The love of money seems to be the motivating objective, purpose, and goal from our businesses, Wall Street, and churches. American Christianity has the mentality that the
