About the author
Ken Dickson
6 books73 followersKen Dickson is the author of Detour from Normal, The Road to Amistad, and Aim for Justice.
Detour from Normal is the shocking true story of how our broken medical and mental health care systems rob Ken Dickson of his life as a respected engineer and devoted family man, and land him in a high-security psychiatric ward reserved for the most dangerously mentally ill. What is most disturbing is that what happened to him could happen to anyone.
In The Road to Amistad, an unprecedented psychological change catapults people from all walks of life into an extraordinary new level of human consciousness. For most, this leads to confusion and heartache, but for some, it is their calling. Their lives would be idyllic if not for a ruthless killer bent on annihilating them. They have one thing in their favor, however: they never give up.
Aim for Justice is the true story of how Ken Dickson spirals into madness following surgery and loses his right to bear arms. But that is only the beginning. Ken struggles back to normalcy and takes aim at the impossible: reinstating his Second Amendment right. Will Ken be one of the few Americans to ever reclaim that right after suffering from mental illness?
Ken Dickson lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and a motley crew of pets. He loves adventures and recently completed a 1300 mile road-trip through India. A few weeks later, he finished a nine-day solo motorcycle ride through Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. After that, he travelled to the Baja Peninsula of Mexico to photograph blue whales and pet grey whales.

Intriguing Concepts, and interesting insights into different medical needs and the different medical care as well as unique ideas.
I liked the honesty of the author, in detailing what happened to him during different types of medical needs and the different degrees of care available for physical illnesses as opposed to the lackadaisical attitude of the mental institutions' staff and the level of care provided. I also very much like the idea of building a permanent base of "resilients," and what the author hoped to achieve with his super evolved community and their advanced skill sets.
