The Millennial Reincarnations (The Millennial Trillogy)

Review "Introducing Daniel M. Harrison. Journalist. Author. Publisher. Editor-in-chief. FactoryBanking inventor. Serial entrepreneur. Bitcoin 2.0 enthusiast. Blockchain evangelist. And... direct descendent of the The House of Harrison, the bloodline behind money-printing business Harrison & Sons, which FTSE-listed De La Rue acquired in 1997." - Izabella Kaminska, Financial Times"Stephen King-meets-Philip Roth ... easily the best book I have read this year." - Azeem Khan, Huffington Post  "Daniel Mark Harrison is an ambitious technology evangelist who has written a book (itself ambitious) that aims to upgrade theCartesian "Cogito Ergo Sum" for something more applicable to the Millennial era. The MillennialReincarnations is a collage of stories set between 1990 and 2014, where the theme is not so much ideological as it is governed by the actions of the Millennial generation ... [Harrison] does not just line up the theoretical or moral dilemmas of man struggling with the prospect of a future post-human or trans-human self (which is not that new in and of itself), but the author instead explores the influence of this concept today, on howMillennials conceive of their work, the economy, their social bonds, their observance of the law, their sexual interactions, their accumulation of knowledge, as well as the criteria they use to make critical decisions about the kind of life they want and the aspirations they seek to cultivate... These are certainly not matters to be entrusted to an algorithm."-- Mattia Ferraresi, Il Foglio "A foreword explains that a new leader will arise. Jews call him the Messiah; theMongols (i.e., the Chinese) call him a Mandate. By the volume's end, the latestMandate "had firmly ensconced himself in the place of the world's next powerful elite," who would reign over the globe's most powerful country, constituting "a reincarnation of dynastic proportions." The work explores this ensconcing in a narrative with several main themes: a man's guilt over a car accident that kills his daughter and her friend; the sorority; young men whose lives encompass high finance, nightclubs, and business deals; sex, romance, and political intrigue, including blackmail and bribery; and overlapping versions of the same characters and events. Some readers may enjoy the meta-ness, as well as Harrison's brash confidence in the privileged, fast-moving world he describes ... ambitious and high-flying, this millennial tale remains bedazzled by the elite."-- Kirkus"Required reading!" - Jeffrey Robinson, bestselling author of The Laundrymen and Standing Next To History and There's A Sucker Born Every Minute"There are few books that can claim to be compelling, original reads; especially those that skirt the borders of a philosophical piece, a new age exploration, and a spiritual examination wrapped in the guise of fiction - but the pleasure of The Millennial Reincarnations lies not in its ethereal subjects, but in its invigorating language and sweeping examination of world peoples and influences on life choices and planetary ecology. Harrison uses bright, vibrant language, a fictional format, and a dual focus on faith and opportunity as he posits scenarios in which Millennial generations - and thinking - transforms hearts and minds. It's complex, rich, and engrossing all in one: that it achieves this feel with so many seemingly-disparate threads running through it is testimony to a story that simply reaches out and grabs its audience. Very highly recommended as a unique, five-star read!" - Donovan's Bookshelf "Pick of the Month October 2015""In a nod to all us go-get-'em Millennial women, the female characters in this book are Katniss-style strong. This is a must-read for millennials interested in taking a critical (and perhaps worldview-altering) look into their own generation." - CE Miller, Bustle  Product Description When over the course of a decade a group of high society New York and Shanghai millennials are forced to qu
