A scientist reviews his work, petroleum exploration and reserves, climate science and nonsense, 'green' energy, nuclear energy and bombs and some particularly grotesque aspects of history, religions and politics. The explanations are clear, funny and so irreverent that the author had to use a nom de plume to deflect the rage of his targets. Although the work is labelled fiction the reader will soon believe that very little, in fact, is. This writing will please those who understand the scientific discourse, detest war and propaganda, respect whistleblowers and are thankful for the wonderful work of Swift, Voltaire and Twain. All earth scientists and those who wonder where the stuff they pour in the tank of their car comes from as they stand at the pump will want to own this a page-turner.
