[Recording Start]
Rick Rosner: There’s a novel, it’s more than 20 years old now; it spends a long time, hundreds of pages talking about the two Americas of the near future; Jesus Land and the Tech Land. It’s called ‘The Rapture of the Nerds’ by Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross. It’s their version of what happens when a big chunk of the population just sinks into G Evangelistic lunacy and politically conservative lunacy. This is even before Trump. And then in Neal Stephenson’s ‘Fall’, his novel before last, spends a little bit of time, maybe 30 pages in a fallen part of America where all the fallen lunatics live.
We could talk more about that whether those visions are accurate next time we talk.
