Welcome to author Mark Goode today! He'll help us learn about his thought-provoking book, Final Chaos.In a world ravaged by climate change, where
the global population has been driven underground and all life on the surface
teeters on the brink of disastrous collapse, Jack Jennings joins the
Aquaterrians to fight the government faction for control of the world's most
precious resource: water.
As the World Water Wars rage across the country and water
and food resources dwindle, in Colorado, savant scientist Angela Starr dedicates
her lab and considerable brain power to researching crop plant physiology for
insight on how organisms survive extremely adverse conditions in hopes of
discovering disaster-resistant food crops. But then, suddenly, soldiers from
both sides of the war turn their weapons on themselves and commit suicide.
No
one saw it coming.
On the battlefield, caught in the tightening noose of
rampant self-destruction, Jack Jennings frantically seeks a way to prevent more
self-harm while the world demands answers. Who or what is to blame for causing
this mass suicide event, what is being called apoptocide? Amazingly, Angela
Starr is accused. Can she find the link between her scientific investigations
and the mass casualties on the battlefield―before the world condemns her for
crimes against humanity?
Author Mark Goode takes us deep in an intriguing thought experiment that quests
for answers about the real world's suicide pandemic. This journey inward
explores the relationships between biology, apoptosis, chaos, and neuroscience
and describes the first-ever behavioral toxin. We come to understand how it
attacks us from the inside and out.
But is there a remedy?

Final Chaos isn’t a tale about Goode vs. Evil,
but a journey through cellular biology, neurobiology, aging research and
military environmentalism as seen through the lens of chaos theory. But the
story line and its surprising ending are actually decoys. You’re really being
led along an introspective journey into how your own chaotic psychological life
processes might resolve themselves–or not. A psychological reset is the
futuristic goal of survivors of the World Water Wars whereby chaotic brain
states can be identified and rectified before any damage is done. In chaos
theory this intervention would be at the level of the “flapping of the
butterfly’s wings” rather than at the level of a downstream “tornado”. With
this perspective shift, the author invites you to take a hard look at the
metaphor of cellular apoptosis, i.e., programmed cell death, that’s raised up
to the level of the human psyche. It then becomes the question of apoptocide,
i.e., programmed suicide. But Goode doesn’t leave you hanging with just the
question that you too are susceptible to the chaotic forces of life, but he
leaves you with viable strategies to offset your vulnerabilities. Read this
book–it could save your life or that of a loved one! --Robert Friedman, Amazon Review
COMMENTS FROM AUTHOR MARK GOODE:
Can you imagine trying to write a book about suicide? You can literally
hear everyone heading for the exit. One of the victims lives in the past, the
others suffer immeasurably, often for a lifetime. My book is a thought
experiment that plays out via a fictional story. The goal was to get people
talking about suicide and create a movement to bring it out of the darkness in
a different light. I am very pleased that I wrote this book, I
am proud of it, and I never get tired of thinking about the many ramifications.
We humans possess the most sophisticated supercomputer in existence. We experience life via the development of consciousness which is brought to us
by our brain Chaos is a natural phenomenon that is ubiquitous, and it can
certainly develop within us.
In our experiment, self-destruction and or suicide
can be the result of internal or external environmental factors. Whether
driving in the fast lane at 100 mph or simply dealing with the chaos of life,
sometimes the wheels fly off, resulting in a major crash.
Join Angela on this amazing adventure and hopefully emerge with the knowledge
that we are all human we are all vulnerable and it is possible to reset our
brain and our lives.
Finally, join me in a war on suicide and let’s learn how we can support one
another, reset our brains and lives from the chaos derailing suicide and
converting potential victims into survivors.
The story itself which is the vehicle of expression for my thought experiment
is really unique. No one saw it coming.
