Book reviews

An all too realistic viewing of the path we’re on and the vast importance of basic income.

This story takes place in a future United States that has not made the decisions it needed to make in the here and now. What transpires is an important warning by Gerald Huff of the kind of future we can realistically expect where due to political gridlock and corporate greed, technology continues to not be used for the benefit of all until the inevitable breaking point is reached…

Is this the future we want, and what can we do to avoid it? Read it and find out!

CRISIS 2038 is a fascinating account of our near future. Only someone who is actively engaged in the future like Gerald Huff could have created such a detailed look at what waits us as a people and a society.

You can’t put the book down; then you can’t stop thinking about it.

This is a unique thriller that weaves together technology’s rapid growth with humanity’s changing needs. No predictable beings versus bots here. Gerald Huff has written a mind-stirring, suspenseful combination of challenges and solutions while showing that thinking as usual works neither for the present nor future.

A must- read for every public official!
