When he is sentenced to death for a crime that he did not commit, he pleads exile in a last-ditch effort to save his life. He is sent out into the unknown with nothing more than a HAZMAT suit and a small supply of food and water. Believing that he will die in a world made lifeless by war, he is surprised to find that life still survives on the surface as if it were thousands of years agoliterally. Knights on horseback keep order, while peasants work for the lords who, in turn, serve the all powerful king. When they said nuclear war would send us back to the Dark Ages, they were not kidding.

The Human Soul (Lost) in Transition At the Dawn of a New Era
Author: Erel Shalit
Publisher: Chiron Publications
ISBN: 1630516848
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Well-known Jungian analyst, author and lecturer Erel Shalit passed away in early 2018. This is his book, The Human Soul (Lost) in Transition At the Dawn of a New Era, published posthumously. “The aim of this book,” wrote Shalit, “is to present a depth psychological perspective on phenomena pertaining to the present, postmodern era. As such, its origins are in the depths; symbolically, in the depth of the waters, in which the sacred is reflected. Likewise, this book centers around the image, which has travelled from the forbidden zone of the transcendent command ‘make no graven image,’ through the interiority of the human soul, to become an exteriorized, computerized, robot-generated image that virtualizes as well as augments reality.” This book explores the changing character of the relationship between us humans and the image, and the dramatic impact this has in post-modern culture.
