About the author

Christopher Hall grew up on a farm in Vermont before co-founding a renowned performing arts organization in San Diego. He is a professionally trained designer and producer. He also worked mitigating the rapacious politics of redevelopment land-use policy in the downtown area.

Mr. Hall moved to southern Oregon to retire and has spent 12 years homesteading and promoting an arts and agricultural economy in the rurally isolated and generationally impoverished region where he resides. Mr. Hall serves on boards of non-profits and volunteers extensively to pursue a mission to cultivate compassionate social action on a community-level scale. This book is the gravitational center of that effort.

He is co-founder and current President of the farmers market and Treasurer of the chamber of commerce. Mr. Hall has also raised extensive grant funds to support the performing arts in schools.

Wow! This is one of those books that forever colors your world view after you read it. Christopher Hall offers an alternative perspective to the mainstream narrative about our culture, and it makes a lot of sense. He sheds light on the root cause of the plagues of modern society by making examples of real world stories and historical events. This is not the story I learned in grade school! The Reality Creators fills in the gaps left by my public education, leaving me more prepared to face the world and choose my place in it. Christopher Hall arms his readers with cited knowledge of the lies and manipulation used to take advantage of our labor and suck value from our lives.

This is not a book about conspiracy theories - he is not spilling the beans on state secrets. What Christopher Hall brilliantly describes is all out in the open, and his witty, unforgiving writing style brings a common enemy into focus by tying a whole host of maladies together. A must-read for anyone with that nagging feeling that something in America isn't right. This modern fable explains how things came to be the way they are, and offers a paradigm shift that is necessary if we, the populace, are to take back our lives from the corporate overlords. A heavy, and sometimes depressing read - I highly recommend this book.

Chris writes in an incredibly, just incredibly intellectual style, not like anyone out there. And to make the writing beautiful too, at the same time, is really an art in itself. At over 300 pages, this is a really condensed book, which could easily have been 10x as long if it was by an average writer. Although he talks about so many parts of our history, it's not namecalling or dates like you're used to in schoolbooks or other authors. I like writing epics (poems) and varying and imitating styles, but I could never write like this guy - he's one of a kind.

i can mimic almost any graphical musical and literary style. but damn, ill never reach this guys level. i dont care for sources but its not needed. he writes with such confidence and wisdom that you just get baffled every single page turned. a truly inspiring read. a real rolemodel. should be required study material across america. at least at university where you brain is able to handle the intellectual onslaught, or maybe slaughter more, of anything fake and untrue in the world.
