Book Description

June 17, 1999
In 2020, Jaime Stewart was a young man in search of self, personal bonding, social justice and eternal truths. In three short weeks, he became a man who found both more and less than ever he'd dreamed to expect. More than the New World Order was at risk because mankinds very existence now hinged upon Jaime's analytical abilities and the cooperation of a small group of the formatively faithful he meets along the way. The OMNI as man's ultimate artificially intelligent creation had begun its countdown to a cataclysmic end, and mankind now ineptly faced their sovereignly own and perhaps deserved consequences. The Question crosses the frontiers of man's past, present, and future to delve into the social, economic, scientific, personal, and philosophical enigmas which ultimately inform their own universal answers. Are the seeking Jaime's contemporaries ready for them? Are we? Visit the author's website at http://www.theformationquest.org.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review of 'The Question' by Dana Barbour, December 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Question (Paperback)
This novel both intrigued and concerned me as I enjoyed the science fiction aspects but was ever aware that the political implications are reality-based. Dana Barbour's character development is excellent, and he does an excellent job of integrating the plot with current sociopolitical issues. The Question is challenging intellectually but definitely read-worthy! If you wonder about implications of current political events, read Dana Barbour's The Question...it's in his book!

5.0 out of 5 stars a scienc fiction epic that seems to parallel our future fate, November 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Question (Paperback)
THE QUESTION HOLDS MY ATTENTION AS IT SEEMS MORE FUTURE REALITY THAN FICTION.IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO DENY OUR PROBLEMS AND DISASTERS SUCH THAT IMPENDING CONTROL OF OUR FATE MAY RELY ON OUR ABILITY TO FORESEE A SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT IS NOT INDEED BENEVOLENT. IN A MODERN FAST PACED LIFESTYLE, IF WE LET OTHERS MAKE OUR DECISIONS WE GIVE UP MANY OPTIONS TO CONTROL OUR FUTURE FATE. THIS BOOK SHOULD SOUND AN ALARM TO ANY FREE THINKING AWARE READER.

5.0 out of 5 stars Formation of a just society, November 22, 2000
This review is from: The Question (Paperback)
This book combines a engrossing science fiction plot with it's mind challenging and thought provoking philosophical discourse. In this age of apathy and cynicism this is a book by someone who dares to give a damn, and that is refreshing.

No simple answers here but persistent readers will come away with their minds expanded.
