Walter Masterson was in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001; the experience and the outreach work he has done with other survivors, motivated him to transition from working in investment banking to becoming a therapist and a writer. He believes the attacks are symptomatic of a collapse of values and spiritual sensibilities that has spread across all humanity. His writing illustrates this vision with dramatic images of a stark future whose outlines are becoming more visible by the day.
