America in the twenty-first century ... the startling story of a tomorrow without law or morals

Back cover text

Tomorrow?

Here is a shocking but realistic picture of America in the twenty-first century — a wild, chaotic America, but a very possible America. An America where people pay protection instead of taxes — where polo is played in jeeps with 50-caliber machine guns. An America full of the wonders of tomorrow driven by passions that are ageless.
