Mark Plimsoll practices total immersion into alternate realities to find out what makes the modern world tick. Based upon personal experiences, his books range from autobiographical creative non-fiction of exotic travels, to unabashed distillations of world wisdom and self-help, to dangerous explorations of the heart of ethnicities and culture, the realities of thought that create national identities and socio-pathologies.
He does not respect taboos against talk of politics, money, religion, and sex because he believes this lack of analysis creates societies full of unthinking slaves to traditions that uphold the status quo, and erect permanent roadblocks in the path of humanity's progress.
With youth's brash sexuality and impertinent brutal honesty, he depicts the world as he finds it, as it occurs to him, and paints portraits of human foibles we all share, from the inhumane contempt of the priviledged elite classes, to the altruism and honor among the dispossessed, marginalized masses.
The citizens of the United States must voluntarily lower their standard of living, or the rest of the world will demand their fair share by war, which makes the investors in the military-industrial complex even more rich and powerful at everyone else's expense.

WMD Machete
The Pan-American "Huckleberry Finn" for the Twenty-first Century, a memoir of the young author's struggle with two realities, one Anglo-Saxon and the other Hispanic. In this picaresque "coming-of-age" memoir, we see a vision of North America's future in twenty-five years, when the Hispanic minority becomes the largest minority, and changes not only the demographics of America, but its culture. The author sweeps us along on a whirlwind of culture shock as he chronicles the adventures of a disgruntled industrial-age young man who feels a tribal and instinctual reluctance to accept the Third World's view of the US and its foreign policy. With Guatemala on the brink of war with Belice, before he can assimilate this alternative language, culture, and reality, along comes a new relationship and an earthquake that stops the war with the deaths of twenty two thousand people.

Imagine yourself as an American young man, twenty-two years old, who lives in a Mayan village on a lake with three volcanoes. You meet a girl, and cling to each other as you listen to radio broadcasts about imminent war. Their first night together, an earthquake at three AM kills twenty-two thousand people. Plimsoll's memoir "WMD Machete" describes his Pan-American coming-of-age with a cast of real-life characters like-the English voyeur with no film in his camera, four-eyed fish, castles and churches full of vampires, the Negro Princess of the Moskito Indians, the founder of what will become Guatemala's famous ecological park, Peace Corp workers and expatriate University Professors, Mayan Indian cooks as practical jokers, an exotic mercenary French nudist, a sixteen year old Tarzan, an American single mom expatriate writer and her sexually indistinct son, an American dad who kidnapped his daughter, Guatemalan press corps killers for hire, communist kidnappers, whores and blind Saints, and most intimately, an artistic and intellectually curious boy named Brandon, the young Mr. Plimsoll.
