The Stone Age - A Novel of Mass Destruction (Paperback)

The Stone Age, a future history novel about one man's attempt to save to world, and the world's rejection of his efforts. Joe Stone tries to help society by creating products to solve problems; condoms that people actually want to wear to cut the birth rate and unwanted pregnancies; a car battery that takes a car a reasonable distance; holographic TV screens and computer monitors that don't need anyone to wear glasses to enjoy the experience. He creates jobs in areas of high unemployment and pays his employees great salaries. All this pits him head-to-head with a brutal group of industrialists to think they own the world. When he produces a cold-fusion reactor that changes the way energy is supplied, they go after him with guns blazing. Part political thriller, part classic English science fiction in the John Wyndham tradition, The Stone Age answers the big question, 'How many people would you kill to save your family?'
