Is there such a thing as Fate? Are we destined to live out our lives toward one final destination? Is there something in our DNA that predetermines our future actions and ultimately decides what our successes and failures amount to on this Earth? Whatever universe we're born into, I guess a positive answer to all of these questions would indicate a very sparse element of free will given to one, or is one's life truly random and what one makes of it? It is clear that no answer to these questions will be forthcoming or only available posthumously, so why ask at all? "Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel." -- Jean Racine. But deep feeling can also be triggered by deep thought, especially when the abyss of questions winds itself around your thinking and pulls you down. This book is a sometimes humorous sometimes ridiculous attempt to answer these questions and in the same vein solve some pressing problems of our time and in the not so distant future.
