An epic, sweeping, story of a future "united states" and a country headed down the wrong path. In Nick Monsarrat's cautionary tale/political thriller, it will become clear that "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything," in the words of the John Mellencamp anthem. An indifferent populace, easily manipulated. Greedy, powerful interests, poised for a corporate takeover of the United States.... It's the year 2038: Do you know where your country went? That's the question Jack Flyte, Ben and Cecil Quayle must answer. In the world of New York City 25 years hence, their future--and the country's--depends on it. ""A powerful dystopian story, a warning of how the last days of the American experiment in democracy might happen; the fight against greed, ignorance, and malicious power is powerfully told."" - Jeff Danziger, Herblock Prize winner and author of The Conscience of the Cartoonist
