About the Novel 2034

2034 - The Love Story - The Suspense -
- The Wakeup Call -

2034 The Corporation Post 2012 follows Franklin L. Concord, a civil servant working in the Department of Databases- for SEESOC. Franklin seemingly questions The Corporation, life, society and the misinformation most have embraced as valid within their lives.

Though the novel 2034 is fiction, the work challenges readers with over 80 footnotes citing actual reports, legislation, economic data and transcripts highlighting just how the story could be walking a fine line between 'theory' and 'reality' - today.

Into 2012 the U.S. regime becomes so overloaded with debt from nationalized assets, reckless Federal spending and expanded government overall, the entity is forced to begin shutting down services after it can no longer maintain interest payments – let alone operations – in the wake of decreasing credit quality of U.S. Treasuries.

Sadly, the once glorious giant of Democracy and Capitalism finds itself precariously over-leveraged and witnesses a dramatic fall in the U.S. dollar - after foreign investors cease purchasing Treasury Securities.

The sudden lack of foreign desire for U.S. debt demands the Federal Reserve drastically raise interest rates and subsequently forcing the U.S. dollar face-down into the dirt. The dollar's final downward spiral also triggers a second round of mortgage defaults from 2010 to 2012, causing even more recession and unrest.

At the same time, in 2010, U.S. Congress approves a 403 million metric ton gold sale for one international humanitarian organization, providing evidence that a larger plan had been in place all along.

Radical changes in weather patterns - due to global warming and a sudden spike in global temperatures - starting in 2010 - only fuel the situation more...

The Corporation is all too happy to inform employees of progress in the 66 degree PARTNER war with Russia - for Arctic resources, while presenting an endless stream of negative propaganda - showing the starving at both Great Walls. The monitors chirp, "The Corporation is the best place to live on earth, where beloved employees are safe from terrorists, insurgents and the unruly famished of the world."

Despite most employees mindless embrace of The Corporation's principals professing 'progressiveness' (uniformity and collectivism in disguise), one man suddenly –unexpectedly - finds love in the coldness of the futuristic dystopian corporate community.

Hiding his affection from Management and Security Services, Franklin finds refuge in the wisdom and company of an old gent, mysteriously running a junk shop filled with illegal antique books, among other treasures.

Eventually, Franklin and Sue are faced with a critical decision: Stay in The Corporation and be taken to 'confession' by Security Services, or attempt to escape through The Great Wall of Mexico, or The Great Wall of Canada...

Despite the harsh reality of possible political and economic similarities to the present day, 2034 is a story of hope, love, empathy and compassion.

2034 is truly about The Form of the Good.
