"An astute and enraging commentary on American politics." <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>Is America in 2024 still a serious country?<br><br>Consider this headline: “Tennessee Reintroduces 1920s Era Bill Banning the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools.” It may sound like satire, but in a time when reality feels more absurd than fiction, it could be tomorrow’s news.<br><br>Many Americans are adrift, drowning in misinformation, retreating into alternate realities, and languishing in spiritual emptiness. With a democracy on the brink, our country teeters on a fragile foundation. Desperately, we need reform, but meaningful political or economic changes haven’t occurred since the 1960s. The system has been captured by powerful, wealthy interests.<br><br>In this provocative exploration, <i>America 2024</i> examines how we’ve come to avoid confronting our most pressing challenges, instead retreating into a world of distractions and absurdities. As we sidestep the critical reforms needed to secure our future, this book argues that without decisive action, the nation may not endure.
