Alice Drake And The Crystal Of Eden

This is one of my favorite books. The central premise is in 2024 to 2028, the United States Government will destroy the United States, as we know it. By 2078, fifty years later, the central question I wrote about is what would North America look like? With a masters degree in public policy and management, this was not simply fantasy development. I wanted to really try to describe what might happen. Small cities and towns will cease to exist, falling back into lawless territories. Why? Most little towns right now have no money. Perhaps they can afford a Mayor, a Sheriff, and a person patching roads, sewers, and waterlines. That is it. Fifty years of this really means total collapse. On the other hand, large metropolitan areas are almost the opposite, with resources to be self-sufficient. My belief, as things in the rural and suburban areas become stressed, these cities will put up barriers or walls to make sure they protect their resources and services. Once this happens, it will dramatically change the way society behaves. Add right-wing fascism and a gun culture into the mix, and the United States is now a dystopia. This is the premise of the book.
