SPAZ is a thought provoking compilation of various experiences in modern day America. Its purpose is to evoke thought and conversation not just on the specific subjects and experiences in the novel but on life overall. It is chicken soup for the mind. A modern day philosophy book. Our youth of today have received one of the best educations a modern society can offer. However, challenging the cultural status quo is a foreign thought. Only wanting to please others is an admirable endeavor but will only promote the status quo with no hope for real change. Our society, nor our citizens, will achieve all they can achieve or create all they can create. All the research has not been done, all the conclusions have not been made, and all behavior is not predictable. A society is always undergoing cultural and governmental morph sis. Our youth has been told when to play, when to study, where to go, all in furtherance of protection. Free thinking is frivolous. SPAZ is a compilation of everyday experiences and reflection on some common and some not so common issues; money, responsibility, drugs, gambling and other subjects. There are no answers, no right way of looking at things, just a pragmatic analysis with no religious or spiritual overtones. Its purpose is to solely provoke original thought. Our college students have reached a malaise in free thinking. They believe they are unique when in fact they accept all as it is given. Such education, bringing out the highest intellectual minds our society has ever had to offer, only to promote the status quo. Our young need to start thinking and have the courage to question everything. Stop trying to please and start trying to think independently.
