What a Wonderful World is a near sci-fi political drama set in the 2040s. America trudged through the 20s and 30s as a shattered nation. A broken economy, a divided population, and incompetent leadership stood to accelerate the inevitable collapse of the United States. But from the woodwork come claimants to the title of president. Three men make the ultimate gambit: Jimmy Glen leads the loyalist US government in New England, intending to reclaim the country, Joseph Markin holds the throne in the south, declaring the New Confederate States with his intention to preserve it, and finally John Carlson a Fascist populist who will stop at nothing to reform the broken nation into a form more to his liking. Explore this world through a large, diverse cast of characters experiencing the conflict from all walks of life. Like a spider web, their stories may seem disconnected at first, but in life, our actions are rarely disconnected from each other. As our cast will come to find out, there are connections we cannot see. Perhaps this civil war is less organic than it seems. As the old saying goes: When two friends play chess, it is the pawns that hate each other.

Homeland

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state. A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier. Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
