• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Australia from the early 2020s onward there was growing discord. Wages stagnated and housing prices went up, and up. Conservative parties discovered the power of just throwing money at voters, especially older voters. It worked and kept working. Leaving a younger workforce carrying all the burden. The tyranny of the majority: what happens when the workforce is a minority in a democracy? Bad things, really bad things. All of a sudden late in the decade it fractured completely. Noah, Jack and Ruby take charge of the new south. Dividing the country between conservative governments in the north with the new progressive government in Victoria. With strong international backing they swiftly take power. But how will they survive against the forces of the north? How can this fragile republic stand?

Autorenporträt

I am interested in the future, and how we get there. Much of the writing that involves technology is either alarmist (variations on the Frankenstein theme) or fantastical (most of science fiction, with a few notable exceptions). To me the interesting bit is the near future where we can at least understand what is happening. What are the forces at work? Is the yawning gap between the 1% and the rest of us inevitable? As a young person I read almost all of Isaac Asimov's books and they set me on the path I have followed. I was a communications research engineer in Australia and Japan. Later I became a University professor. I am a touring cyclist and like nothing better than spending my days pedalling, and my nights stretched out in a tent.
