Features: This is not a dictionary. If a dictionary means the "collection" of words, then the words here are still wandering, still expecting, still calling. It is a legend about the future, a will left by those yet to be born, a map of the yet-to-be-discovered territories. We can call it "prophecy," but it is more appropriate to regard it as an "allegory." This is not a dictionary. If a dictionary confirms the cold marriage relationship between words and things, then here, the two have not yet united, are still yearning, and still full of inspiration. The practical person can read out numbers, trends, and opportunities from it, but only the wanderer (referred to as Nomade in the book) can savor the fear, passion, and pleasure within. This is not a dictionary—yet I wish it were! If a dictionary means preservation, treasuring, and maintenance, then the words here are all about eternal things. The theme, of course, is the 21st century. But do not expect this book to point the way for history, because it has no direction; it keepsing on the edge of destruction. The world is lost, and it may at any moment return to the age of barbarism. Barbarism is the source of all evil; we must reject and curb it, fighting for a chance for the world's eternity.
