If you are also someone who wants to live responsibly, this is a book for you — a deep resource full of common–sense for building resilience and community, even in times of hardship. At once acknowledging our foibles yet cherishing our strength, somesuch is a prescient catalyst for a humane, practical and responsible society.

introduction for writers and reviewers

Somesuch may appear to some at first glance to be simple, and indeed it is designed to appear so initially, so as to be accessible to everyone. More complex meanings are layered “between the lines”, and the book helps readers master abilities and skills to interpret the deeper meanings.
To understand the work, one needs to understand the effect on the reader. The book is designed to “grow” as the reader grows, to be re–read, and to “renew” itself with deeper meaning each time it is read.
It is designed to fully embody the message it carries, and to be as readable in a hundred years time as it is today.
