I have someone proofing / editing my book as I type this. I’m excited to get the book (Breaking the Free Will Illusion for the Betterment of Humankind) out very soon! Right now I’m illustrating some key points and some fun ones as well. Here is a sampler of one of the illustrations that has to do with the nature of causal events (the cute round figure) and acausal events (the crazy eyed pointy figure “popping” into existence).

Of course the book explains what the picture is addressing,  but this is just to give you an idea about some of the imagery the book will contain within it. I’ll probably be displaying some further illustrations on this blog as I go along. After all, I’m not just a philosopher and writer, but an illustrator and graphic designer as well.
Once I go over the editing with a fine toothed comb, I’ll be ready to add in my illustrations and place my book on Amazon.com. I’ve decided that ebook format is really the future and the way I want to go. Initially it will only be available on Amazon in Kindle format (which a number of different ereaders, devices, and computers can read), but later there will be a hardcopy book as well. After some time on Amazon I may decide to place the book in other formats also, but for at least 90 days the book will be exclusive to Amazon.

So stay tuned to the progress of the book by subscribing to this blog, or connect with me on twitter or other social media connections.

  1. Recap: we communicated about our respective projects–I’m defending a dualist theory of evolution, supporting free will. I am giving a talk on it locally in April coinciding with a conference on evolutionary psychology which is what I am opposing–I support “folk” psychology.

    Congratulations on your progress. I will want to see the book. I plan to use talks to sell my books.

    • Hey Shaun, I remember you and our discussion / debate. Good luck with your talk in April. 🙂
