One word... SCAM. But beyond a scam, as well.. Reading parts from their book, sounds quite a lot like scientology and L Ron Hubbard's views on
technology becoming a religion. It's really quite pathetic. Don't allow your curosity to get to you on this.. They sent a huge book to my family,
for free.. And offered a 'free year membership' without ever responding to them. I suppose they are getting desperate to try to defraud people of
their hard earned money.

Yeah I got the same letter you guys are all talking about . I mailed it in yesterday . I got it on monday night . I don't know how they found me. I
was really shocked that someone took the time to actually write the out the latter and even spell my name correctly.
I'm shocked I even found this letter posted on the web. If this is the same letter were talking about which I believe it is then why should I find it
on the web. I was really surprised and hoping it wouldn't plastered on the web but I only found like three things on it though.
Has anybody gotten the book. I still wanna know what it says. Just out of being curious. In away it kind of sounds like a book of spells to me. It all
sounds to good to be true. Does anybody have anything positive to say about this society?

About 8 or 9 years ago I found a "Neo-Tech" book at a thrift store and snagged it.
It was paperback, and IIRC the cover was mostly black with either yellow or white stripes angled on the lower corner.
The title of the book included the word "Neocheating" and it was said to be book 3 or 4 (?) in a series.
Mostly the book talked about using cheating to shave the odds at various things. What I remember as the "message" of the book was that if a person
gets in the lifelong habit of making verbal embellishments in order to improve his or her positions in various transactions, the aggregate effect
would be quite beneficial in the long term.
It also covered various methods for identifying and using/avoiding collusion among players in a game.
The part about identifying collusion among other players was very interesting.
I googled "Neo-Tech" just now and from what I gather it is some sort of MLM pseudo-scientific cult like Scientology.
The Neocheating book did not have any MLM flavor to it, as I recall, or it would have been thrown away.

Yes, this is the same thing as Neo-Tech. It's been around for a long time. I started getting the letters about 10 years ago. I was very curious about
this strange offer. I got a book or two, mostly out of my own curiosity over how these scams work. Amazing stuff (amazingly stupid). I researched
Frank Wallace and learned about him and his first book on poker, his company (I/O Publishing), his family, Eric Savage, and Mark Hamilton. He used to
work at DuPont, and he has been incarcerated for tax evasion. I even contacted Professor Julian James, the author of "The Bicameral Mind," which the
Neo-Tech scammers use in much of their material. (There's no legit connection between Neo-Tech and the professor). Later they started calling it Zon
Power, and there's tons of stuff you can find on the Internet. They're somewhat "Objectivist" (Ayn Rand philosophy) in some of the tone of the
material. Which is how I probably ended up on their mailing list. Goofy scam, IMO.
