WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

Eli's Revolt

A philosophical, satirical, historical fiction taking place during the early stages of the American Revolution. This hysterical, absurd story takes place in Boston 1769, hostility between the American Colonies and Britain is heating up. Our main character is named Eli, a boot-maker's apprentice to the legendary boot-maker The Great Sir Mr. Finley Figgins The Third Sir. Eli is the normal average everyday Bostonian man. He goes to work everyday, has a girlfriend and some friends but finds himself a minority in Boston when it comes to America's push for independence. He actually enjoys the British. He loves their tea and food. He feels as if the streets are safer with British soldiers patrolling the streets. He does not want America to be independent from British rule. As America's push for independence seems to be a greater reality, Eli takes matters into his own hands. He infiltrates the Sons of Liberty, attempts to sabotage their plans constantly. Becomes arch enemies with Samuel Adams and much, much more absurdity occurs in this ridiculous satirical story loosely based on real historical facts. Battles, fighting, action, romance, adventure! And of course, lots of comedy and humor. I hope you enjoy! :) Gordon Ramsay said, "It's a Bloody good read!" Rebecca Black said, "It's even better than Friday!"
