Description
What if the United States of America were no longer united?
The Green Forest, the first book in The Divided Stories of America, is equal parts dystopian sci-fi, satirical comedy, and classic love story.
The USA is dead. In its wake lie four autonomous territories: the Southeast, the Pacific, the Frontier, and the Northeast. The last of these is ruled by an authoritarian corporatocracy that uses AI technology, social credit scores, and a central bank digital currency to subjugate the masses. It’s a green forest of greedy creeps and broken beasts. It’s the place Finn Culligan calls home.
In the aftermath of the National Divorce, the present is grim, and the past has been labeled a dangerous conspiracy theory. With truth existing only as a fading memory, Finn struggles to convince his girlfriend of the importance of freedom while holding out hope that it still can be found . . . somewhere.
As he contemplates an escape from the Northeast, Finn encounters two people from his past who provide evidence that the green forest is darker than he imagined. Their revelations are the catalysts for a plan that could cause the ruling elite to strip Finn of everything.
With his job, his girlfriend, and his social credit score hanging on by a thread, Finn faces a dilemma. Buy The Divided Stories of America: The Green Forest to discover if he chooses the assurance of safety and security over truth, freedom, and love.
