Kind of haunting to read a past book about our current year... scary and yet informative... I enjoyed reading her responses to a journalists questions at the back of the book about what gave her the idea for writing this book and she spoke about what she thought the US would be like as a 3rd world country expanding on things that were currently happening (1990's) to what the affects of it would be like years later (2025+). Great book.i wish there was more at the ending but it's meant to be that way & was expected.
