Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gentle Empire and the insectoid hive mind are metaphors for the division and factionalism found in modern society and culture. From 1740 through 2144, the Gentle Empire drops its repetitive payloads of new technological wonders and corresponding propaganda values. Television takes center stage for a time and then it's replaced with robots and holographic projections. Finally, virtual reality makes actual reality obsolete! The competing alien empires will have to make the ultimate sacrifice and succeed against the odds even though both sides are so equally matched. Who will win? It truly could go either way. Will agents Zippity and Zappity succeed with their propaganda mission to win over the Earth or will they be thwarted by the insectoid hive mind? (This is the third volume in the Media Armageddon trilogy that began with Gorgeous Robot Flesh and The Next Paradigm for Human Living. The events in this volume occur simultaneously with the events of the previous two volumes. The three volumes can be read in any order.)
