This is a book that sees the history of man for the last 2500 years as a trip down 60 highways that certain men created where each new path was no different then the last; The theme of the book is to illustrate once and for all how Man has consistently allowed third parties to own and control their time here on Earth.

We are lost as a race and need to get back to our original paradigm of survival as a race of Man, both male and female as equals. Machat shares his views as to who Man the species is all about, answers the questions of every generation of who we are as individuals and as a collective consciousness of Man and offers the paradigm shift of what we must do in for our species to survive.
