"Criminal Contractor Zack McCarthy is scammed out of £50 by the Delaney family, so he kidnaps them to use them in the next 3 jobs he has as a punishment for them for defrauding him. The relationship between them grows but the world of the Contractor is very different to that of the Delaneys and they find themselves immersed in situations far more dangerous than they could have imagined."Each chapter is told in the first person, by one of the four main characters. The story itself was inspired by an incident that happened to me last year when I was ripped off, basically the first half of the first chapter.

The End of Man. The Future of Woman.The Climate Emergency. More and more humans consuming the planet's resources, societies struggling with ever-increasing amounts of violence. How does our world react against this?Schrödinger’s Elephant is collection of five novellas, inspired by the work of ethologist John B. Calhoun who defined the term Behavioural Sink to describe the collapse of society resulting from overcrowding. These stories take points in a history where the crisis of overpopulation is resolved by women uniting to eradicate men completely from the world, to continue humanity’s journey as a single-gender species. And the resulting consequence of that.Why Schrödinger’s Elephant? The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger said “Imagine a cat in a box. Quantum mechanics implies the cat is both alive and dead until the box is opened and its state can be determined”. And with that, the thought experiment Schrödinger Cat was conceived.Schrödinger’s Elephant takes the idea of the Elephant In The Room, the subject no one is prepared to discuss, to be the ever-expanding global human population and the resulting environmental and social consequences - depletion of natural resources, the increase in violence as more and more people compete for survival. Only that particular Elephant is in the next room, the room politicians and world leaders ignore, the room no-one dares open the door to, for fear what they may find.
