The Entropy Heresy

Welcome to the bizarre and chilling world of a subterranean future where all your needs have been anticipated and provided by society’s long dead planners … except freedom. You’ll cheer Brody’s plucky heroine on as she makes her break for a rumored heaven somewhere beyond her familiar hell - the very heaven we are now foolishly destroying, tree by tree.

-Stephen Wing, Free Ralph! An Evolutionary Fable

With her acerbic wit and unsettled intestines, Danielle Gasket may make an unlikely heroine. But her arduous journey, from techno-dystopia to a full embrace of the natural world, offers a necessary parable for our ecologically troubled times.

-Kyle Kramer, A Time to Plant: Life Lessons in Work, Prayer, and Dirt

Witty, clever, absurd, intricate, compelling…delightful. Brody has taken a fresh and engaging approach to ancient storytelling dichotomies of dark and light, below and above, soiled and pure, descension and ascension-both literally and figuratively. The Entropy Heresy is a captivating and complete story in its own right that picks up where The Philodendrist Heresy left off, on a far future Earth of Brody’s wonderful imagination. Brody effectively blends science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, and advocacy into a work that is both fun to read and thought-provoking.
