Download or read book Year 2040 written by Thomas Morrison and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2040 A.D. America has gone the way of the Roman Empire. A new kind of democracy, the golfocracy, governs the former Americans. A new culture flowers along with new words-PuraThought, footballers, sexballers. Our hero, Charles Cue, a young American correspondent back in 2005, survives the years to the changeover. He writes for the golfocracy's first chief of state, President Duffer. He supports many of the ideas of Duffer, a woman, but is troubled by her plan to kill some "terrorists" in Canada who seek to "bring back America." Cue learns that the leader of the terrorists is his missing son. The author of this book feels only disgust for the sexballers and their motto Amour Is a Sport. Yet he can't help but wonder if the picture of himself (below) shows a certain developing hypocrisy early on.
Download or read book 2040: a Fable written by Bruce Piasecki and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in Bruce Piasecki's actual neighborhood outside of this historic revolutionary town Saratoga Springs, New York, this Fable begins with the discovery that one of his family's neighbors are conspiratorialist, people of profound passion and misinformation. During a lovely dinner despite three years of The Virus, they dine together, and are intrigued by the neighbors Parrot, military equipment, and literary excellence. Suddenly, the neighbors leave for Maine; and the protagonist George develops his lifelong friends Winston and Abe, as they weather many insults from storms and other harms. Winston is a tax attorney; and Abe is a daily journalist, who had met George during their elite training in college. The seven book author Thaddeus Rutkowski does a fine introduction drawing the hilarious parallels between Bruce Piasecki's reflections on freedom and fate during their undergraduate years in the 1970s, and the lasting themes of this Fable. The endorsements for this Fable have arrived from Istanbul Turkey, Australia's northern regions, Ireland, Scotland and throughout the professions, from experts on white supremacy, social unrest, and philosophy. Much of the book is an exploration of the power of the works of Bob Dylan, Fellini, the Italian film legend, and a others like Chaucer and Milton, without being heavy or burdensome. In fact this book is about the need for freedom in a time of state surveillance. Structured in ten chapters, a Rabbi endorsing this book reflects on how sum of its lessons are fitting his religious and spiritual teachings; while others reading this book have commented on how much fun it is to read. One calls it a Kalie scope on family, love and friendship. Another reflects on how reading this book was a wild adventure. The best thing to take from creative writing like this Fable is a sense of freedom. In reflecting on the protagonists discovers both with and against his strong wife and daughter, and with his friends since college, the reader finds the writing informative, persuasive and full of delight. A homage to social justice, like the rest of Bruce Piasecki's work, some believe in their endorsements that this book will be even more worthy by 2040.

There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear -- along with the lawyers, of course. There is the internet star, beloved by millions for her airship adventures, and the building's manager, quietly respected for his attention to detail. Then there are two boys who don't live there, but have no other home -- and who are more important to its future than anyone might imagine. Lastly there are the coders, temporary residents on the roof, whose disappearance triggers a sequence of events that threatens the existence of all -- and even the long-hidden foundations on which the city rests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eleventh hour, future and past worlds collide through time travel. It's 2040. A business empire, PTB, dominates the world, controlling energy, communications and most politicians. Now it seeks a monopoly over all water and food. Howard Wheaton, the mastermind who has developed quantum computers, and his wife, Lady Margaret, are powerful enough to operate outside their control. Made wealthy by his own computer empire, Wheaton also owns time travel technology which he fights to keep out of the hands of PTB. Using time travel, Wheaton sends people into the past, but a team goes only one time into the future. Because of what they find, the future is kept secret as the Wheatons develop plans-the most important, a clandestine project to begin in 1872 Paris. Erik Mercier-whose infamous legend shadowed him in life and death-is chosen to front Wheaton's project to be carried out in the past. Known to be a creative genius who lived in the underworld of Paris, he was also said to be a cursed madman. Some called him a murderer. Even a phantom. But what is the real reason he was chosen? Events spin out of control when Mercier is rescued from execution and transported to 2040, only to become the center of a power play. PTB pulls strings for Mercier to be put on trial for murders based on the rumors and myths that surrounded him. In a Seattle office, attorney Kathryn Copeland is confronted by Mercier, a defiant, mercurial man, scarred in body and soul. Not only conflicted about defending him, she is also deeply suspicious about the Wheatons. What are their true motives? As she attempts to separate the truth about Mercier from the legend, Kathryn struggles to avoid becoming entrapped in a web of desperate schemes. Entwined with Mercier's fate is the fate of mankind. And time is running out-in the shadow of our own impending phantom future. (To read the first chapters of Phantom Future, go to lmbanyan.com)
Book Synopsis The Plot to Change America by : Mike Gonzalez
Download or read book The Plot to Change America written by Mike Gonzalez and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book reveals what has really happened, explains why it is urgent to change course, and offers a strategy to do so. Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking that it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics. The first myth that this book exposes is that identity politics is a grassroots movement, when from the beginning it has been, and continues to be, an elite project. For too long, we have lived with the fairy tale that America has organically grown into a nation gripped by victimhood and identitarian division; that it is all the result of legitimate demands by minorities for recognition or restitutions for past wrongs. The second myth is that identity politics is a response to the demographic change this country has undergone since immigration laws were radically changed in 1965. Another myth we are told is that to fight these changes is as depraved as it is futile, since by 2040, America will be a minority-majority country, anyway. This book helps to explain that none of these things are necessarily true.
