2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America Brooks, Albert

June 12, 2030, began like any other dayby then, memories stretched far back. Cancer had been cured fifteen years earlier, and Americas population was aging quickly. It seemed like good news, but with a major threat gone, millions of baby boomers were draining benefits and resources never designed to support them into their eighties and beyond. Across the country, young people simmered with resentment toward the olds and frustration at the endless grind required just to keep their parents entitlement programs afloat. But that day, everything shifted: a massive earthquake struck Los Angeles, and the government, already close to bankruptcy, couldnt respond. The disaster sparked a sweeping chain of events, bringing together refugees, billionaires, presidents, and revolutionaries in a struggle between hopes for the future and promises from the past. In *2030*, the authors chillingly plausible vision of where todays problems might take us makes for a gripping, thought-provoking read.
