About the Book

"It is amazing how complicated the human narrative can get. Each one of us, the main character in a very complicated story. A story that twists and turns with each experience we encounter, each mistake we make, and each myth we ponder. Dreaming of Chaos, is such a story.

Someone once told me that life exists on the borders, where complexity meets chaos. To a mathematician this area is known as the Julian Set, it is a world of fractals and abstract ideas. To the rest of us laypeople it is life, spiraling into the future. It is not black and it is not white, it is full of colour, and controversy.

People live and people die. There is sanity and insanity, war and peace, good and bad. There are religions and black holes. Laws and rejection. There are high places to fall from, and low places to dig yourself out of.

There are books designed to make you think, others to confuse you, and quite a few to just pass the time. Such is the same with lives. And if anything I just said makes any sense to you, I am sure you will enjoy Dreaming of Chaos, if not please pick another."
