About the Author
Michael Dwyer grew up in secure Australia spending school holidays on a country farm. As a young man he lived for a time as a foreigner in Europe working alongside illegal immigrants and hippies. On his return to Australia he studied computing, public administration and business as well as learning about permaculture, world oil supply (peak oil), and its massive implications.
Always impressed by the ideas in science fiction, Michael is puzzled by civilisation’s myth surrounding the future. With a deeply sceptical view of economic growth in perpetuity and the assumption of eight billion people living happily on a planet with declining resources as well as an increasingly changing climate, he holds fears for the continuation of civilisation.
Now retired, he loves bike riding and has ridden across Australia both south to north and west to east and has a regular routine of
sporty rides with friends. He has a passion for growing food and is involved in organic food growing in the local community garden, building resilience in local community.
Michael has an intense desire to find a path to a thriving living planet with a realistic plan for civilisation to continue for at least five hundred years.
