Marta and Gallanol In The Modern Age
My Marta and Gallanol writings are about an alternative world in which the madness of modern economic life has reached its logical conclusion and life has become very dull indeed. The characters have a desire to change that situation and improve the quality of life!
The Martan Empire and the continent of Gallanol has a long and complex history, but this collection concerns the modern age.
I may try to publish these writings in book form at some time.

The Decline of Civilisation (Ch.16a)
Image:
Quotations from the book 'The Decline of Civilisation' by Janus Apinus. He writes of the development and then the decline of the consumer market economy in the Martan Empire and Gallanol, of the competition and efficiency which grew, stifling consumption and making the actual lives of the people miserable in the process. He mentions the development of new technologies, including Vidnet and the foodshute delivery systems to the blocks of apartments. A warning for our own world perhaps as our own economies 'develop'?
