"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power" —Abraham Lincoln

A hard-hitting, no-nonsense, consistently scathing criticism of the divisiveness which permeates our society, 3000 Years describes the world of 2055 where:

  • California has splintered into five states, each with dramatically different laws and where New York and Florida have also fractured;
  • The splits have created a major shift within the Electoral College and Senate, as a result, both Federalism and the Tenth Amendment have become the key issues of the day;
  • Within the US, ten states are on the verge of secession; and
  • In Canada, the French-speaking province of Quebec has broken away and Ontario is about to become the first Muslim nation-state in North America.

In addition to these and numerous other geo-political elements, 3000 Years also addresses a variety of social and legal aspects of this future society including:

  • The convergence of affirmative action and hate-crime laws into an asymmetric legal system where criminal liability is based solely on race and gender;
  • Extremely severe limitations on free speech, resulting in a new concept known as Abhorrent Vocalizations;
  • Electronic Scarlet Letters; and
  • The abuse of the power of Eminent Domain by both the Federal and state governments.

Going beyond the social and political aspects of this future society, 3000 Years also contains numerous scientific and technological elements which help create a story which is unique on every level. Overall, the future societies of 3000 Years will be carefully constructed, highly plausible worlds based on the logical, linear and cumulative extrapolation of current political, cultural, social, scientific and technological trends.
