Some 147 years after the first colonists arrived at Sirius 4 from Earth, a new commonwealth was formed, dedicated to the notion that free people living by a spirit of zero aggression could live in peace and prosperity with one another.
At the ceremony establishing the commonwealth, Raymond Douglas Kaliber proposed "a bold experiment in humanity based on these tenets: Love your neighbor as yourself. Interact with love, not force or violence. Give more than you receive."
But before the people of Sirius 4 were ready for commonwealth, they tried to overcome tyranny the old-fashioned way: by force. It turned out to be an imaginary revolution, replacing one violent regime with another. Kaliber suggested another way: Here is his story in his own words.
The Imaginary Revolution is available as an ebook or a hardcover print edition. A paperback edition and audiobook will be available early in 2013. I offer three options:
To buy the book for Kindle at Amazon for $4.99, click here.
To buy the handsome softcover print edition for your bookshelf – price an astonishing $5.95 – click here.

The Tiny Dot
"A situation too weird for 99.999% of people to adequately explain."
For anyone who wonders if the principle of noncooperation in The Imaginary Revolution seems too "unrealistic."
