      DEDICATION

      Some say our minds resemble spider webs, a sea bed of kelp or an Amazon rain forest. Maybe, what we do know is that if one strand of our personal egotistical web is tickled it will set off a cascade of reactions, mostly negative.

      Today we cannot do anything without getting tangled in some kind of electronic web, stuck on a congested freeway or endure inane cubical working conditions. Add to this political, religious and economic brouhaha and you have the perfect setting for the Viglet Movement.

      Creating Viglets begins by examining webs. But Viglets purpose is not to catch and devour, rather it is to entice and liberate our true passion for freedom.

      The inspiration for material in this book comes from our mundane activities, the kind we all face as we daily roll out to face another electronically enslaving day.

      VIGLETS – Pithy Wisdom for a Balanced Life is hereby dedicated to all who daily see their lives being trampled on by sassy electrons in cute boxes. It is time to rise up.

      Viggo P. Hansen

The author dedicates this self-enlightenment book to all ordinary souls, gods bless us, who have unwittingly abdicated our freedoms to become enslaved and controlled by binary computers and their associated app monsters. These ubiquitous devices dominate our homes, work cubicles and machines of transport.

      Perhaps the most demeaning aspects of these abominable, arrogant, and insensitive ogres are that we often have to stand in line to use them, excuse me. How heartless that people must queue up to get their own money from a clunky germ ridden robotic machine, or crawl bent over, hoping not to break wind, while digging around in dark corners looking for an outlet and nervously trusting that a hapless spider won’t bite.

      On top of everything you have to be vigilant about nerdy creeps trying to steal your precious little secret PIN, memorializing your dear grandmother’s date of birth. Think about it and then ask yourself: How dumb is all this and what will be our future, if this madness continues? Maybe the Luddites of old were onto something.

      We have evolved (or is it devolved) to the point where both fact and
