Excerpt from Book

I am working on a novel. This is an excerpt.

"

At the family dinner, the following Sunday, Ellie recounted the discussion she and Jake had shared while watching Madmen.

“Since that night, I’ve been rolling this thought around in the back of my mind.” Ellie began.

“Now, listen before reacting, ok?” She added.

“OK.” The three replied simultaneously.

“What if, just what if, human evolution has been stalled because we spend much of our time surrounded by images, videos, songs and so on, that portray a reality, one we have all bought into, but a reality that isn’t real?” She spoke quietly.

The looks on her family’s faces gave her pause. Jake began to slowly nod his head but the siblings seemed a bit, maybe not doubtful, but wary.

Cathy spoke first. “Mom, I see what you are saying. But it sounds like the beginnings of a fascinating conspiracy story, intriguing but impossible.”

Nate added. “The coordination it would take to achieve this would be massive. How could it be done?”

“Well, that I don’t know, but feel it is worth giving some deeper thought to this.” Ellie said."
