He doesn't enjoy the news; he doesn't like to argue. Rona may want to change the world; Morris wants the world to leave him alone. Morris does not make waves. But one day Morris is seduced by a lonely, lovesick receptionist at one of the offices along his sales route, and in a moment of weakness charges a non-business expense to his company credit card. No big deal. Easy mistake. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the government's top-secret surveillance program, anchored by a giant, complex supercomputer known as NICK, thinks differently. NICK begins to thread together the connected strands of Morris's life--his friends, family, his traffic violations, his daughter's political leanings, his wife's new patients, and even his failed romantic endeavors--and Morris becomes the government's public enemy number one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his \"laugh-out-loud funny\" (Chris Matthews) debut novel, author \"Steve Israel reveals his inner Jon Stewart\" (\u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e, New York). \u003ci\u003eThe Global War on Morris \u003c\/i\u003etoes the line between recent breaking headlines and a future that is not that difficult to imagine: \"Why read this when one can see Washington insiders acting like buffoons in farcical situation on CNN?
