To understand what is happening today, we need to understand history. And to understand why it is so important that we act, dystopian stories have been written. Including a collection of short stories written by me. • The Crumbling of a Nation is a collection of 14 speculative and satirical short stories Within these stories, you will meet: • a woman who must auction her unborn baby’s rights away •a twelve-year-old boy who suddenly finds himself in the middle of a war •an extraterrestrial being sent to Earth to determine whether or not humans are worthy of an invitation to the Confederation of the Cosmos •a mother who sends her child to school in a bulletproof vest •an old man who has only two months to live •a genius who strives to eradicate sadness from the world •a young girl impregnated by force in a state where abortion is outlawed •a grandmother teaching her granddaughter about the origins of the universe •a teacher who fights against the censors of her local school •a PhD candidate whose worst nightmare is recorded by dozens and posted online for millions •an artist seeking fame in a world where all are famous •and a sneak peek of my (hopeful) debut novel, In The Algorithm We Trust. • Books featured in this video: Stamped From the Beginning Women, Race, and Class The Autobiography of Malcolm X Between the World and Me The Fire Next Time The Nickel Boys Night Cry, the Beloved Country The Gulag Archipelago Anne Frank’s Diary Parable of the Sower Fahrenheit 451 1984 Handmaid’s Tale Brave New World The Memory Police Babel The Circle Chain-Gang All Stars Severance The Crumbling of a Nation and Other Stories •
