A Good Book

You know what might be good? is a nonfiction, Gonzo account about violent conflict. Since the end of the Cold War, states have collapsed like Humpty Dumpty across the Global South. The world is rife with national and transnational insurrections, criminality, terrorism, natural disasters, epidemics, and complex humanitarian emergencies. Maybe I'll write this book, you know? About the wackiness of being human among other humans in this time and place, funny encounters with regular people living in apocalypse.  This book of anecdotes, reflections, photographs, and haiku would explore the risk factors of internal and transnational conflict at this point in history and will be divided into three parts.  All these horrible, hilarious stories would persistently be oriented in the broader context of geo-political stresses and strains, oil addictions, and urban decay. It would be a unique attempt to tell the story of America, the last superpower, through snippets of profane dialogue, socio-political analysis, and haiku poetry.

I don't know.  What do you think?  It would be a good book right?
