The Burodyssey of H.O.M.E.R.


Reinventing Government--
Why Have We Waited 3,300 Years?

The perfect book for any bureaucrat...
or anyone who knows and loves a bureaucrat...
or anyone who can't stand bureaucrats...

The Burodyssey of H.O.M.E.R. is an epistolary retelling of the epic Iliad and Odyssey in the form of the directives, memoranda and reports that must have been part of these landmark socio-cultural events.

Return with us to yesteryear, to the thirteenth century B.C., when Odysseus, the invincible hero of the Homeric epics, roamed the Mediterranean, defeating Trojans, the Cyclops, Scylla and Charybdis. Witness his struggles against the angry acts of malevolent gods with long attention spans, the whims of friendly gods with short attention spans...and Bronze Age contractors and bureaucrats!

If you've ever wanted to know...

  • How heads of state get drafted...
  • Why the innovative Trojan Camel weapons system became a Trojan Horse...
  • What caused the world's first environmental disaster...
  • How the Cyclops lost his eye through a failure to observe workplace safety standards...
  • How Odysseus's long-suffering wife Penelope became the first Welfare Queen...

This book will answer all those questions!
