Imagine our planet at peace. Inter-connective harmony. Respect for all living things. And... the freedom to go naked.

The visionary fantasy/nudist/vegan novel Strange Days Indeed paints such a picture, with a twist. A fictional memoir writer is reminiscing about present times from an enlightened 2061 future that universally embraces radical body freedom and compassionate diet. He's telling future generations the odd ways we chose to live and why. In particular, he casts a laser beam on the unlikely history of two age-old, by then archaic, customs: compulsory dress and cruel diet. And tells how they morphed in our time.

Who hasn't imagined how nice it'd be if we didn't always have to wear clothes? Or thought it barbaric the way millions of feeling animals are destroyed each day to become dubious food sources?

"In our heart of hearts, we were all natural-born nudists."

In telling how improbably we lived in times he, too, weathered, Zet recounts his life as colored by our perma-dressed ways and unkind and unhealthy eating habits.

Not surprisingly, future generations view our age as most peculiar. read more
