In a not-too-distant future, when social forces reign supreme, an information curator discovers a hidden message embedded deep within the repository of collective human knowledge--a rogue message that could disrupt the present and radically alter the future by revealing a past that had been meticulously and systematically erased from human consciousness. Transcribed by the curator, the message explodes into a harrowing time-space narrative that tracks the urgent, sometimes violent, attempt of one family line to wrench human society from its technosociopharmacologic choke hold. Insub is Book 1 in the Insurrection series. NOTE AND DISCLAIMER: This work is a rough draft. I upload these chapters essentially as they come off of my fingers. I generally do not edit before I post. This means, of course, that much of the writing will be quite rough and unfinished. Some of it will likely not make much sense at all. Compounding this is the fact that I work long hours at my "day job" and often find myself writing very, very late at night. After I have completed the work, I will edit and post a finished version. Thanks for taking the time to read my roughs and adding your two cents.

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?
