Local author Stephen Burzi will discuss his book, Notes along the Way: a Pilgrim's Progress, a collection of essays about life and our role in the universe. Like the programming code of a popular software application, these articles reveal life's hidden workings-the rules and regulations that create and maintain our world. Many esoteric ideas are divulged in this travelogue, but desperate times require desperate measures.

Stephen Burzi was born, raised, and schooled in New York City, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, which he studied because "literature tells the truth about history." Since graduation-alongside a continuing study of various religions, mythologies, philosophies, cosmologies, and G. I. Gurdjieff's opus, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, he has enjoyed a long, successful, and fulfilling career supervising large-scale commercial construction projects in the New York Tri-state area.
