- Summary
- Yates is a Futurist. Which is to say, he makes a very good living flying around the world dispensing premonitory wisdom, a.k.a. prepackaged B.S., to world governments, corporations, and global leadership conferences. An optimist by trade and a cynic by choice, he's the kind of man who can give a lecture, on successive days, to a leading pesticide manufacturer and to the Organic Farmers of America, and receive standing ovations at both. But just as the American Empire is beginning to fray around the edges, so too is Yates's carefully scripted existence ... This novel that is fueled by equal parts corrosive satire, genuine physical fear, and heartfelt moral anguish.--From publisher description.
