THE DRAGON & THE HUMMINGBIRD
A satirical look at climate change, capitalism and what we can do about it (before it's too late).
A note from Gramskii:
This might look like just another children's book about a dragon.
But, actually, it's a beginners guide to climate change, capitalism and what we can do about it.
It's also an act of resistance aimed at undermining the 'Tech-Bros'.
And you don't need to eat tofu, grow root vegetables or be a Marxist fundamentalist to read it.
It's actually quite fun!
FORTUNATELY, GEORGE IS MARRIED TO ALICE
And Alice is not about to take any crap from a psychopathic dragon.
BUT WAIT, WHO'S THIS?
It's George - our unlikely hero.
His job is to make sure we don’t ask too many questions...
…questions like "Why are we all choking on his noxious farts?"
ALICE EXPLAINS HOW THE DRAGON HAS BEEN GASLIGHTING US
For at least a couple of centuries - promising us the earth, but really just taking everything for himself...
AND EVENTUALLY, AFTER A LOT OF ADVENTURES ALICE AND GEORGE FINALLY CONFRONT THE DRAGON - And the spell is broken... ... and the Dragon is never seen again.
THIS IS DRAGON - He's been around for 250 years lording it over us like he owns the place...
And he's the one producing all the poisonous fumes...
Still think this is a kid's story... ?
Don't take my word for it.

'THOUGH SOME SAY HE NOW LIVES ON MARS TO MARS...
...counting his money. Sad really.
Oh well.
This project is not-for-profit
No Amazon. No advertising budget.
Just a free book, a shitty dragon,
and the hope that enough of us hummingbirds
can make a difference.
We are many. They are few.
The paperback — best enjoyed with a nice cup of tea.
