Although this book is said to have been around since 2012,
Wally first heard of it only a few days ago.
“I skimmed a review online and immediately placed an order.
“Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed, it was self-published
and I almost gave it to Goodwill without a second thought. And no matter my feelings about the author, I’ve
never met a self-published novel that I actually liked. That is, until a few days ago,” he said.
According to Wally, Nicholas Lamar Soutter’s, The Water
Thief, is way more than just a good read.
And should corporate manipulation and disinformation, along with citizen
apathy, continue on its current path, it’s a promise of things to come.
On a planet where unions have been crushed, education a
heresy and corporations in charge, the CEOs, Executive Class and top one
percent rule supreme, while the rest of us are literally, left to eat shit and
die.
And that pretty much describes what life might become, in
the not too distant future, where everything is privatized and for profit. It is a
place where the sum total of one’s existence is objectively determined by your
worth to Human Resources.
There is no right and no wrong. Criminal behavior is objective and measured
by damage to the corporation. And perception
is everything. Perception is truth! And whatever you may do, never ever set a bucket
out in the rain and attempt to steal the corporation’s water. “But that,” says Wally, “is a whole other
story and well worth a read.”
