Once in an erstwhile peaceful land rich in repose and sharing gifts endlessly, a sanguine merriment quickly evaporated into the caustic reign of the false and deadly. It was during this long drag of unkind hours that the author penned this tribute to sanity in a years-long effort to both reveal the responsible and prevent any further disturbances on this scale. A hard look into the soul of something that may not yet be identifiable, Frictional Ascension reveals a strange case that is still baffling authorities. It examines whether vengeance plays any role in justice and to what extent, offers a sometimes humorous look at rare thoughts, and considers what exactly amounts to proof, among other things. Prison logic has crawled from its safe moorings, which was always its intent, and leeched out to the point where it has touched many, even political realms where sadly today many of these false reasonings may be found. This book offers some possible explanations as to how this happened. However, amidst the fires of the current anti-humanity climate, it is in no way helpful or intended that any actions should be taken based on anything written herein that doesn't arrive at a legal solution, since these fires were sparked by the same prison logic that this book exposes. If we're convinced of everything that surrounds us, Frictional Ascension may reveal that everything may not be what or where we thought it was. If any peace is possible for the future, it is intended that this book help it settle into a condition that isn't prone to rapid negative change or any further dissolution.
