When Arthur J. Temples attempts to maintain authority over a Britain rife with poverty and corruption and a London devoid of democracy and diplomacy. The Prime Minister has to keep a tight grip on his position and fend off any threat to his tenure. With the assistance of his life long friend and soul mate who he attended university with, Charles B. Woodbead. He appointed Charles as his Chancellor of the exchequer. However, with scandals and rumours encircling him as well as the "Champagne Socialists", led by James Stoneman, that opposed him gaining popularity from a desparate London. With once proud nations around the world having fallen from grace one by one, first the U.S.A in 2025, then China the following year, planet earth had devolved in to a miserable example of human nature. Animalistic, Violent and Instinctual. Most countries by now were either a nuclear wasteland or an impoverished sector. The world was making a sad spectacle of itself. There was only a few surviving nations. Would Britain fall?
Arthur was a good man.
But sometimes, good men have to be bad to achieve good.
For the greater good.
Right?
The impending election will test wit, resolve and sovereignty.
The year was 2040, or as the children of the future will come to know it, Judgement Day.

Hi there, I'm JD, a 31-year-old Venezuelan-Spanish Economist living in Barcelona with my Russian (pro-peace) wife Anna and our two kittens; we met in Italy eight years ago, and almost since then we have been working on this project. During our careers we've worked with people from South America to Japan, from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Norway, the characters in the novel are based on people I was lucky enough to meet along the way who left me with invaluable lessons which we feel the duty and privilege of sharing with our fellow humans, hopefully sharing what cosmologists call "Space Bias". There are seven main protagonists each one with their own chapter - which can be read in whichever order you prefer, - two of them in present tense and the rest in past, it's all part of the story. They all have mixed backgrounds such as a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, a survivor of the Rwanda massacre, a Colombian with Lebanese and Portuguese ancestry, a Danish whose mother is German, a Jewish lady married to a Muslim man she met in Jerusalem, an Anglo-Indian guy inspired in a way in Orwell - character name is Arthur such as Orwell's real name, - and last but definitely not least a Turkish Muslim bisexual woman for which a Lebanese friend for work is providing help; my friend is working on her Ph.D. on gender inequality in politics, especially in countries with religious civil wars that have moved from the streets to parliament. The story's Universe - 7 trillion light-years, approximately 78 times the size of our observable universe and 252 times the size of a Hubble sphere - provides more than enough civilizations to present dystopias that can serve as warnings for the future - ideally in the style of 1984, A Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451, - as well as utopias where we find A.E.I - Artificial Emotional Intelligence - along with futuristic ways of understanding childhood, education, and life itself.Complete![Gate: The Advance of the Ten Powers [ Finished ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/219954737-256-k384976.jpg)

They left after the new president in 2021 announced that NATO is out living its real purpose and that it is hindering the United States from its true ability, while also leaving due to something costly that some nations of Western Europe have committed to the country. Soon after, the United States faced a level of Economic and Technological Growth that would be perceive Unobtainable, even in the US's grasp. But, after 2032 the US President decides to form an Alliance with the World Powers, such as China, Russia, Brazil, and India. They gained 4 new members, Australia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and South Africa, and, in 2035, officially formed the New World Superpower Defense and Prosperity Treaty Organization. They have remained the most unchallenged, and the most powerful alliance since the creation of NATO. And this new alliance created a Era of Peace therefore unimaginable by Human Comprehension.

Or shall Earth fall to Chaos once more? Cover has been made by: @Javlarvafan Thank you, for the cover This book has been discontinued, I am putting it back up for the people who wanted itComplete

Monotone | ✔️
"If we were so riveted in the spectrum of nature, why did we stand, petrified, as we became corrupted by idle technology, stupefied by glowing screens, stolen from life as we know it from enemies right under our noses? Why did we relent to this obvious threat when we did have the capability to change, and prevent our peaceful hierarchy from being razed? It was the consequence of this stupidity that condemned us all to slaves, servants of a towering race of robots and data." The year 2096. Robots rule the world. Their grip seemed impenetrable, the extent of their control unknown by the humans. Society is blinded by the splendour and wealth of all the technology. "We live in mere fear, unable to access any computerised knowledge for fear of being discovered. We're convicted to the old ways of living, our specialists abilities unable to be used. It puts a very ironic twist on the definition of being free." COMPLETED --Complete
