Why Me?: Events and Realities Out of a Multi-Universe of Possibilities

Defined as the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state, Chalabi applies and humanises this idea known to physicists as the butterfly effect in his new novel Why Me.
Through his alter ego, Ramiz Alkhishin, he demonstrates through ten short plays that the consequence of any unexpected incident is determined, not by the incident itself, but by how one reacts to it.
Ramiz Alkhishin is a grocer who has a passion for a life that is as independent as possible from its surroundings. In his job he comes to notice that when any of his grocery shop customers face a fluke incident in life, a question that they never seem to fail to ask is "Why me?" But to him, the answer is simple: "It is never you in particular. It is just that an event occurs in your presence. How you and others react to this event creates realities out of a multi-universe of possibilities."

Born in the previous century, author Raad Chalabi, after equipping himself with PhD degree in Chemistry and an Msc Degree in Polymer engineering embarked on a journey in life with scientific and commercial objectives. As a result he secured several patents and managed, at board of directors level, many public and private companies in more than ten countries.
The author opted to share his global experience in a series books which he hopes would both entertain and cause the reader to ask questions.
