Explain the Psychology of the Articles in the Book

This is how I will connect the stories.  They can be explaining the good or the bad or both and that sets the tone which is just as or more important than what is said.

Forgiving or angry, revengeful or submissive, high tech and successful or low tech and apocalyptic.

Collapse - Apocolyptic, Transitional or Revolutionary, inspirational or fearful,

the psychology must relate human emotions to understandable actions and then show how they get carried away, run out of control, because we forgot the real goal is the journey, not the destination.

It must lead the reader, listener, audience to discover the truth for themselves.

As soon as the reader finds something unbelievable they turn it off as fiction unless they are expecting fiction.

If they are expecting entertainment, they need to be entertained.  The expectations must be set in the first few pages and reaffirmed in the final chapter.

Only after events portrayed in the future become reality can they understand that it was not fiction.
