IF ALL MEN WERE ANGELS:DICKENESQUE VIEW of the CYBER-AGE
|
Hope and the promise meet reality and gloom at the gate
of Hunterspoint Correctional Facility in a factory turned
prison housing the masses displaced by the Third Industrial
Revolution.
I am a deputy warden, who keys a sturdy gate. You call for Mr Bridges, at a portal designed for freight. |

Enter Ben Bacone a young lawyer looking for a song and his
jaded mentor Jack Nater planning to cash out on one last
big case and retire. Together they face a Brave New World
of the Cyber-age where the old rules no longer work.
The old ways of the factory age are gone forever. But what has replaced them? Ben and Jack have to step lively to keep one foot ahead of the Grim Reaper.
|
Will the promise and the dream hold out against the gloom
and dispair of the Grim Reaper?
Ben and Jack in different ways believe they will.
Demotion to a place among those displaced by the New Age: the unskilled immigrants, homeless persons and the Vietnam Veterans confined at Hunters Point Correctional Facility is the banishment the Grim Reaper promises as a reminder of the high cost of failure. Hope and the dream face a tough road against the Grim Reaper! |

| Dickens and Steinbeck would be impressed by the tension between change and rigidity. |
