About The Process

From the publisher's feed

There is no shortage of information. If you want to know "WHAT" is happening choose any news source, at random, and likely they will cover the same stories as any other outlet. But will they have context? Can they explain "WHY?" something is happening? Open conversation is scary. Open conversation can create odd narratives, but it also helps us all better understand our world.
