Daring to cross political and racial lines, in a manner yet unseen in the literary world, 2023: The Fall of an Empire invites Americans to revisit their history books and learn from the mistakes of other once powerful nations that have actively participated in their own demise. This 430 page tale takes the reader through a political and emotional journey that expands beyond America's borders. It challenges the citizens of the United States to analyze exactly how "un-united" they truly are and to realize their true vulnerability in the international arena. 2023 emphasizes the need for America to pull together as a united nation, but admits that, division may be inevitable based on modern politics, religious conflicts, and the inability to effectively communicate across racial, cultural and religious lines.
