Midway through university, Angus was suspended because of poor academic performance. Three years later, he graduated at the top 5% of his class, on the dean's honour list.
This book is his "how to" guide. Its techniques have transformed a lazy, poor-performing dropout, into a straight-A student.
(for documentary evidence please view Appendix X)
When the book was finished, he sent it to various publishers. Many of them thought it was an exciting idea, but they didn't dare publish it. Too controversial. Some wanted him to remove the "science fiction" aspect and turn it into a generic study guide. Some wanted him to remove certain theories because they thought it was too "technical." Most of them were afraid to print the chapters on smart drugs and military strategy. Finally, some of them wanted him to rewrite the whole thing as an auto-biography instead.
In the end, Angus decided that the main reason he wrote the book was to share his experiences and learning with other students facing the problems he had overcome. And in the end, he released the text version of his book into cyberspace. Many people sent him email, remarking that his book helped them a lot, and encouraged him to gain more exposure for it. This Web site is the result of another month of work.
It is a contribution to students and educators everywhere.
(For Angus' controversial treatise on the failure of the educational system, read BUGS IN THE SYSTEM. Tertiary educators have already and many agree with him.)
