Synopsis

For this who enjoy books such as; 1984, Brave New World, Siddhartha, Hunger Games, The Giver, and Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing, Official Intelligent Beings may very well be right up your alley. It is part one of a three part Metaphysical Sci-Fi Saga, a quick, yet powerful, read, that challenges one's perception of the world and seeks to understand present day life while considering a possible future. A dystopian love story with a hopeful undertone, Official Intelligent Beings will have you on the edge of your seat while challenging your perception of the world and leave you filled with wonder. Summary: In the not so distant future, life is simple. Everyone knows their place, they have their job that they do diligently, they have their devices that give them what they need, there are no more questions about right and wrong, no more fighting for one’s beliefs, no one is superior to another, intimate relationships are done away with, and hunger is a thing of the past. This has been made so thanks to the Official Intelligent Beings—a far more advanced super-human, birthed on Earth, with a complete and perfect knowledge of all the fields known to man. They are the natural leaders of the planet, the ones that everyone looks to, listens to, follows, believes in, and trusts, without doubt. That is, of course, except for a small percentage of the population that just can’t seem to fit in. Jagz was one of the few that went against the grain of society. He was amongst those that fought the urge to take the pills that made everything so perfectly aligned, kept everyone happy, and helped them remain thoughtless. Jagz was just another social content creator, speaking his mind’s truths to his small group of slowly growing followers, using his words to inspire those that didn’t seem to have thoughts of their own. That was, until one day, when he was summoned in for an unlikely meeting with the head of a major Webwork and told top secret, Earth shattering information. Lost and alone, Jagz had to make a choice: share his knowledge with the world and risk complete and utter chaos, or keep it to himself and let it eat him alive.

About this title

About the Author

Josh Greenfield has been writing since he discovered the power and creativity made possible to one who uses words to tell a story in college. Prior to writing Official Intelligent Beings, Josh focused most of his work on writing creative recipes that challenged the home cooks perception of cooking as well as philosphical and metaphysical pieces about any number of daily experiences. Josh is co-creator and co-host of Brothers Green Eats, an alternative improv cooking show about food, music, lifestyle and travel. The show airs on both Youtube, where he has amassed nearly 700k followers, and MTV internationally in about150 countries around the world. Josh lives in Brooklyn and is happily married. He is an avid fan and practicioner of Martial Arts, he loves to juggle, dance, hike, be outdoors, and spend quality time with family and friends. Josh was in a band for 10 years called "The Canon Logic" and now spends much of his time writing songs and playing with friends simply for the love of music and the connection that it brings. Josh was a terrible reader and writer growing up, didn't even read a full book until a year into college and was even picked on for his terrible ability to write. Josh put in many years of practice while learning how to write and read but since he found love in both he has no plan to stop. Josh believes that anyone, with practice, patience and self love, can learn to do whatever it is their heart desires. He likes to write to inspire people to challenge themselves, to raise the bar, to push beyond their limited belief of themselves so as to do something great.
