See all formats and editions
This twelve story collection is centred around the theme of being altered by a situation. In the acclaimed How to Win a War, a soldier experiences a strategy for ending a war that might just work. In The Patriotic Amnesiac, a mother voluntarily gives up her ability to form new memories with far-reaching consequences. A Queen and a Prime Minister plot against a President in Sever-Reign. The Legend of Legend is a light-hearted caper about an egg that contains a universal truth. In the dystopian The Second Fear a ministry attempts to produce fear in someone who is incapable of feeling it. In the closing story, Devilish Tricks, a deal with the Devil changes the life of Casimir Hendrix, but is it for the better?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When he was in high school, a dare escalated a little too quickly and Robert made the state final in an interpretive dance competition. Thankfully, his teacher was okay with him chickening out of the main event, thus preserving his affection for education. Whilst not a direct consequence, Robert has since spent too much of his life studying and is undertaking his seventh university degree, a PhD in Education. Robert has degrees in psychology, sociology, biology and education, all of which inspire his writing.

Robert studied Wado-Ryu karate for twenty years and ran his own dojo in Perth for several years. However, he is not currently training.

Robert is kosmemophobic, meaning he has a fear of jewellery. He has no idea why; it just freaks him out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short stories that will stretch your mind!
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019
If you read the author’s bio, you can find out Robert New has degrees in psychology, sociology, biology, and education, but if you read this fabulous collection of short stories, you might have already guessed that: they are smart, mind-bending, and often contain scientific or philosophical ideas and explore moral questions.

I was particularly intrigued by the stories in which New’s own beliefs come to the fore: “The Second Fear” and “Devilish Tricks” which examine the role of fear in shaping human behavior; “How to Win a War” and “The Principled Principal” which present case studies in how to turn enemies into friends; and “The Lost Chapter” in which New proposes a foundation for a more equitable political society.

If you enjoy having your mind stimulated and your normal way of seeing the world challenged, check it out!

3.0 out of 5 stars Reminiscent of “Black Mirror”...

Reminiscent of “Black Mirror” in a couple of stories, but a bit discombobulating in others. Some of the stories were quite entertaining, while most must have been over my head because I didn’t find the point. I was on the fence rating this book; some stories were 5* while others were 1*.

I am just glad I got this book for free. I would have hated to have paid for it.
“Stories” is giving it more credit than it deserves

5.0 out of 5 stars Twelve five-star winners!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2018
Movemind is a collection of twelve short stories that have only one thing in common; they are all well-written and grippingly readable. They range from How to Win a War that has a wicked twist in the tale, to what I can only describe as literary fiction. LifeOpenBook is a fictional social media platform used to illustrate the merits of the claim that God fashioned man and the contention that humans created gods. Readers will have their own favourites. Mine was the heart-breaking La Criminal; anyone who’s every owned and treasured a dog learns that love is not forever, and compassion isn’t an easy road to tread.

I was fully engaged in the stories and they stimulated thought. Their length were about right for me, and the language used helped me along.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative and diverse.

Some killer twists; some truly thought provoking ideas and interesting stories. My favourite was Devilish Tricks (reminded me of Henry Slesar). While I enjoyed all the stories the others I particularly liked were First Constant, How to Win a War and The Second Fear.
