Looking Backward from the Tricentennial: A Timely Tale of Nonviolent Revolution

Will the United States last for three hundred years? Julian West has his doubts, but after waking up in 2076, he finds the nation has been reborn like a phoenix. Idabee Leete, daughter of the doctor who revived Julian, serves as his guide within the American Union, the organization that used the lessons of Martin Luther King Jr. and game theory to take control of Washington.

Julian soon discovers that the cyclical forces of history that allowed a nonviolent revolution to take place in the 2020s are the same forces that could have torn the nation in two. What sacrifices is he willing to make in order to bring about the best possible future for the United States?

A modern retelling of Edward Bellamy's 19th-century classic, Looking Backward from the Tricentennial offers a new look at America's past, present, and future. The political innovations laid out within its chapters culminate with an opportunity for peacemakers to collectively bargain for an upgrade to our social contract in the upcoming election.
