About the Book

A GREATER GOOD
by T Wilton Dale

(Createspace, December 2017)

​It is the year 2057. Byron and Sallye are graduating into a new vocation. With others, they are the human presence in a technologically advanced society. Bred, raised, and trained to do so, they come alongside those in distress. They are engineered to be perfect human companions. Soon, however, they realize their psychological-designed environment has left Byron with scars, scars he didn't even know existed.

Setting out to discover the source of Byron's trauma they encounter an ugly secret kept from him by his parents and the Administration of Social Logistics (ASL)—the body, which organizes the society that engulfs them. The pair set off to find Byron's long lost brother. Finding him, an impossible love triangle emerges.

This human drama shimmers against the backdrop of a society designed to know everything about each individual member. ASL computers monitor every heartbeat, purchase, and steps of its citizens, this to ensure that every need is provided. Even a person's perspective is monitored by psychotherapy Avatars powered by Artificial Intelligence. Privacy is nonexistent.

In this society engineered to bring goodness to all, Byron and Sallye soon come to battle the moral destruction that goes hand in hand with its all-encompassing control.

Praise for A Greater Good

"A quick easy read that I enjoyed. A thought provoking book in a modern Orwell type fictional society. Fun read."
-Kobo Reader (4 of 5 stars) 
I love this book! It could only have been written by someone with a profound understanding of psychology, and the courage to give commentary on the direction of mental health care for the future. Great character development, interesting twists that keep you guessing and powerful human moments.

Picture
It's all about the story.
       Some stories are formal, like a novel. Some stories are backstories, how another story happened to happen. 
       But all stories help us connect with each other and make sense of the world around us. Some stories even might prevent bad things from happening in the future—dystopian novels and cautionary tales.
        Hope you will tune in and enjoy this podcast. You can hear the 30 minute conversation at https://ptsdandbeyond.podbean.com/e/ep-140-stortelling-a-greater-good-with-t-wilton-dale/ . You can also find it on your favourite podcast app by searching for "PTSDandBeyond" then go to episode 140.
