About the author

Chogan Swan

Chogan Swan is a subversive, wild-eyed, non-violent neoRevolutionary who lives in the country of the mind in the world of thoughts in the universe of ideas.

In this tiny corner of the space-time continuum, Chogan studied Philosophy and later collected graduate degrees in Business and Systems Engineering from a major US university renowned for its abundant alcohol consumption and passion for a particularly barbaric blood-sport. Go Hokies! :)

These studies, however, led to an interest in Systems Thinking and how to work together to save the world for everyone. It won't be easy.  (But then what is that's worth having?)

Philosopher, poet, prophet, revolutionary--sentients on various worlds have used these words to describe Chogan. Of course, the truth is in the interstices.
The motivating force for Chogan's ... 'messages in bottles' to the multiverse ...
has been succinctly captured by the words of Harlan Ellison …

"Writing is a holy chore.
... the only organism of quiet communication left to us.
In the soft moments when we huddle alone with our thoughts, we turn to words
... And there--in the moment when (sentient beings) choose to reason--we can reach them.
It is a heavy responsibility."
