'Deprivations' - "I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information."

The title of my novel seems to be so appropriate in this world.


I remember years ago hearing a Duran Duran song called 'Too Much Information' and I was struck by the lyrics:

• I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information.
• The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need.
• It's too much information for me.
• Hey, T.V. child, look into my eyes.
• Here by intervention, I want your attention.

Even though that song was written years ago its message is still very relevant if not more so.

On TV today I watched a Sky News feature that discussed an article in The Times newspaper called "Digital giants are trampling on the truth".  It was by Robert Thomson and he analysed the organizations

                       Google  and   facebook

He wrote:

• "they have prospered mightily by peddling a flat-earth philosophy that doesn’t distinguish between the fake and the real because they make copious amounts of money from both.”

Sounds familiar?

But Trump is also a digital giant who tramples on the truth.

Look at the bottom of that above image.  It's been shared by Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and reddit.

But perhaps we are all fakes...


Even the author name I use for my novel ‘Deprivations’ novel isn’t my personal name.

As for the main character in that novel…

The main woman featuring in it - Mahisa - adopts someone else’s name to become another person. 

She almost forgets who she used to be until…

But then that’ll giving away the story.

Read ‘Deprivations’ and find out



At the end of his article ("Digital giants... ") Robert Thomson expressed:

• “in this age of augmented reality and virtual reality, actual reality will surely make a comeback.”

Well, Mahisa will show her ‘actual reality’ at the end of the ‘Deprivations’ novel.
