Description

Monumental. Power, Corruption & the Struggle for a Just Society

The world is currently teetering on the edge of chaos, buckling under the weight of greed and corruption, dark undercurrents of power twisting noble intentions into self-serving agendas and turning our dreams for civilization into a nightmare of tyranny and oppression.

Monumental is more than a book; it's an antidote to the venomous forces threatening to inject toxic ideologies into the world. Because at this pivotal moment in history - where global conflict, financial crises, and social disfunction all threaten to bring everything crashing down, what can be done to survive these self-inflicted wounds?

If knowledge is power, then Monumental is the switch.

Ready to turn on curious minds.
Expand perspectives.
And challenge the status quo by revealing the ugly truth
about this beautiful world.

Monumental distils complex societal issues that humans have wrestled with since the dawn of civilisation into a simple, yet compelling story.

And the moral of the story?
To change the world . . .You must first understand the world.

About the Author

Nick McFarlane is a multifaceted author and artist known for his keen insights and sharp wit. A modern-day bard, McFarlane seamlessly blends satire, social commentary, and razor sharp visual communication in his works. He's the author of Spinfluence, an illustrated exploration of propaganda's insidious influence, and Hunting the Killer Idea, a deep dive into the wild world of creativity. As the mastermind behind Truth Bombs, McFarlane curated a global collection of sticker art from 50 artists, capturing the pulse of street art's vibrant youth culture. These books have achieved cult status, are distributed internationally, and have been translated into several different languages. Monumental is McFarlane's most ambitious project to date, aiming to illuminate a deceptively complex subject through an engaging fable narrative. The result is as insightful and enthralling, as it is startling and confrontational. In the spirit of creative exploration, McFarlane has developed Dynamic Narrative Synthesis. An experiment designed to push the boundaries of literature, through the application of artificial intelligence, by integrating external factors such as primate behaviour and significant global events, into the editorial output. Making Monumental more than just a book, but a statement about the unpredictable nature of the uncertain times we find ourselves in.
