An Archaeology of Perspectives at War: Aristocracy, Technology, and the Illusion of Progress is the author's first work in a true multidisciplinary and multi-faceted approach to the dynamics of hierarchy, social control, and history. This first edition includes over 1,300 original aphorisms, famous and obscure quotes by influential personae, and an Invocation to the Muses. Cyclical, cynical, and somewhat Nietzschean, the author has created a sibylline book for at least the next thousand years.
