Realizing that there’s no free-will can be horrifying and disorienting. But it can also be a gateway to peace and acceptance of others. This is a story about a group of college science students who understand that all people are ultimately innocent of who they become. The students form a commune (the Machinists Union ) and work together to live out their newfound social insights. This easy-to-read book brings beauty and hope to a sometimes ugly and hopeless subject. This book was used as the background story to the musical Twimfina.
Aren’t We the Lucky Ones is essential reading for those who are troubled by thoughts of determinism. May it bring hope and peace to those who read it.
