WHERE ARE THE INFRASTRUCTURES WE SO NEED?

It’s been an interesting week, and it’s barely half through. Interesting because of events that all speak to the primary need of our nation to critically review, update and replace outdated infrastructures, so we can begin living in a world where pandemics and disasters can no longer control our lives and vitality. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not advocating a “return to normal.” Never, as that would leave our nation standing on the railroad tracks facing the next of many future oncoming trains!

I’m advocating using conscious utilitarian rationalism tempered by empathy, to reconstruct a new nation based on better infrastructures in government administration, ethics, education, transportation, communication, public health, individual health care, social services, business and, yes, even religion. Can’t imagine? Try THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, the first publisher-identified SCI-FU (science-based futuring) genre novel of it’s kind. Walk boldly where no one has gone before and begin deciding on the world you want and the needed infrastructures to bring it about.

The Edge of Madness

Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands [and readers] to live.
