“Are
digital technologies making politics impossible”?
Rhetorical
question.
The
second tome of The Chanterelle Chronicles is meant to be a satirical
response to a rhetorical statement masquerading as the
inaugural
question of The Nine Dots
Prize, a demonstrably
regional literary competition intended for an academic audience,
preferred but not officially limited to the ivory tower circuit of
southeastern UK.
The
second tome also serves
as an introduction to The Chronicles philosophical dissertation. One
that seeks to be an original cognitive exercise in response to
ancient societal issues. An
exercise whose resolution
will invite the reader to construct a historical and logistical
framework to effectively address the concepts presented to him in the
subsequent volumes of the series.
The
second tome ends where the first began; with the expansion of an
ancient Scandinavian
myth; one with a contemporary bent. The protagonist of this latest
installment of the myth faces his own paradox. One which
is strikingly
similar in purpose and intent to the paradox hidden between the lines
of the inaugural question:
The
Paradox of Impossible;
Gofer's
Paradox.
Empires
come and go. Chanterelles are timeless.
