Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) A political satire on government by law-enforcement: an experimental community without permanent governmental structure is caught by state authorities and criminally investigated.“Excuse me, but where is the Mayor’s office?” Mr. Jones queried of a passing person. “We don’t have a Mayor,” the woman replied. “What do you mean ‘you don’t have a Mayor’? This is a town, isn’t it? I saw a sign that said ‘Bentley’ on my way in.” “That’s right. This is Bentley. But we don’t have a Mayor.” “You are incorporated as a town, aren’t you?” “You mean do we have a license to be a town? Yes.” The absence of government feels as shaky as an earthquake. The state investigation produces a strange encounter between bureaucrats and visionaries…told as a comedic parody of bureaucracy revealing the power games that hierarchy encourages people to play underneath the protocol and outward appearance of their public duties. It exposes the estrangement people feel from law-enforcement as a way to govern. What will become of this experiment? Will the power vacuum it creates be devoured by bureaucracy? The outcome hangs in the balance. The visionaries might ironically suggest that it will be decided by who can drive fastest down a path precisely as wide as a car without killing the flowers growing on either side. In Treason’s utopian fable Don Fenn brings the visionary qualities of his science fiction down to Earth to intersect with the antiquated political practices of this world. What happens if bureaucracy finds some place it doesn’t exist?
