Hello Folks,

Anyone who has read Systems will know that its publisher, Libredux, is named after the ideal social system based on the Cohesive Ethics Theorem. When I used that name, I had no plans for it other than to publish the novel. But now Libredux is taking on its second title, this time penned by the Marghdeen Learning Centre’s Khurram Ali Shafique. His new book, titled: 2017: The Battle for Marghdeen is inspired by a pattern he has found in the writings of Iqbal, which reveals a seven stage cycle for the development of a nation, or what Iqbal called the ‘collective ego’.

The ebook is due out on 14 August 2012 (coinciding with Pakistan’s 65th independence anniversary) at Smashwords. Paperback release date to be announced. I've reproduced the Introduction over at my blog to help explain what it's about in more detail.

This book contains a unique insight into the Two Nation Theory, and where Pakistan might be headed. Clue is in the title.* Whether you agree with it or not, it's compelling stuff. Make sure you pick up a copy. And pass on this message.

Take Care Folks,

Saleena

* PS: For those who don't know, the Marghdeen of the title is a fictional city on Mars, representing an ideal society as conceived by Iqbal in his epic poem, Javid Nama. Any similarities to 'Libredux' in Systems are entirely coincidental. Or are they? :)
