Mr. Lutes is a 97-yr old World War II veteran, writer, lover of classical music and language, still on his feet, and still writing. His latest book is entitled "In Search of The Ego". He has a particularly strong interest in creative non-fiction.
"In Search of The Ego" is not a study of Freudian psychology; it concerns itself mainly with recognizing that one complex, obscure entity within every human that makes each individual unique.
The Ego is not a trendy thing today like it was when he was in his thirties. It caught his interest, however, when young people began to destroy themselves, taking along with themselves other selves, sometimes many of them, and the authorities could never find a motive. However, in most every case, they left a note or proclaimed aloud how this terrible act would make them renowned.
One also has to wonder whether Ego will become trendy again. Or will Ego become Ego Aggregate? Or will Artificial Intelligence replace poor Ego completely? Let's find out in his book.
