Astray of the Herd: Observations, Commentaries and Rants from Outside the Mainstream

By Scott B. Williams

If you've ever felt left behind, out-of-step or just plain bewildered by the stampeding madness of the herd-like behavior of modern life, come along with Scott B. Williams on an irreverent and humorous examination of the materialism, technology and regulations of contemporary America. Williams shares his perspective as one who lives on the fringes of the mainstream. Just as Henry David Thoreau went to Walden Pond in 1845 to seek simplicity and separation from his peers in nature, Williams chose to go astray by paddling a 17-foot kayak to the Caribbean. Astray of the Herd is a collection of observations resulting from his life on "island time" with little money, no job, and boundless freedom to ponder the deeper questions of life. Read this book for a laugh, give it to your stressed-out friends, or get inspired to do some straying of your own.
