This book is about the past, present and future evolution of human ideas with a primary emphasis on parasitic collectivist ideologies. It examines where they come from, how they harm us and how we can remove them from our own minds and from the culture around us. Finally, it tells us the amazing things that may become possible for humanity when they are gone. Not only religions, but also nation states, racial groups, corporations and other collectives are targeted for observation and criticism.

This book provides information on the stages of machinery design for automated manufacturing and offers a step-by-step process for making it optimal. This is illustrated by numerous examples of technical concepts taken from different manufacturing domains. The author, being a university teacher, sees that teaching curricula and textbooks most often do not provide the answers to the questions: How are things built? How do they work? How does one best approach the design process for a specific machine? Most textbooks emphasize computation theories and techniques and deal less with the physical objects that the theories describe.

The Book of Urizen is the Genesis and Exodus of Blake's "Bible of Hell" (Marriage of Heaven and Hell 24). It tells of Urizen's fall into solipsism and its consequences for his companions, in particular Los but also others drawn into his vision of the world. The world is created out of this fall. The book ends with Fuzon, a Moses figure, leading his people out of Egypt (Urizen's world). The Book of Ahania continues the story of Fuzon's conflict with Urizen. Urizen's sexual repression and its consequent prudery are further explored. The Book of Los retells the story of the creation of the world from a different point of view, exploring Los's motivation as the demiurge of this world who gives concrete form to Urizen's abstractions.
