Imagine someone who normally writes about politics and economics crafting a science fiction short story about U.S. future history. A possible future is what this New York Magazine Intelligencer article describes.
The author sketches a path forward for a seriously divided nation, written as a policy retrospective. It reads like “how we got to where we are” from the perspective of perhaps 2070.
As a science fiction enthusiast and follower of political and economic trends and policy, I found it very interesting speculative fiction. It doesn’t particularly lean left or right politically.
The article is a reality-based projection of what could (not necessarily will) happen. I highly recommend it to you.
