In the shifting environment of the technological and commercial age, Lydia Brunouski became the hero of the fight against corporate dominance by fundamentally changing the way our culture thinks. Much to the chagrin of the rich and famous, she joined them to learn how to make a billion dollars so she could buy defunct shopping malls. Instead of dismantling the malls for profit, she leveled the old structures and planted community gardens in their place. Her inspiration caught the attention of the country and just in time community gardens popped up throughout a nation destine to collapse leaving communities with the ability to feed themselves.

Author’s Note

As unlikely as it may seem, I knew a woman in the early nineties who maxed out ten new credit cards to attended the Billionaire Bootcamp in Hawaii, a workshop to learn how to make a billion dollars. Unlike all of her co-attendees, her intention was to make enough money to buy then raze shopping malls one at a time and return them to useable soil.

Did she ever realize her dream, I don’t know. I do know that I sat in front of her off grid mountain cabin one afternoon, word for word, chronicling her fantastic adventure then spent the next year turning it into the novel you are about to read. Yes, the names have been changed and I certainly added a writer’s flare to fill in the more mundane parts of the story, while trying to keep as close to the actual story she told me on that hot August afternoon sitting on her minuscule porch in the back hills of northern California.
