New Future

He’d made mistakes...more than a few and probably didn’t deserve the second chance he’d been given. But he was going to do everything he could to prove himself worthy of it. Ray didn’t have a single doubt that a number of individuals were wondering where he’d disappeared to. With luck it would stay that way...but if it didn’t he probably wouldn’t be around to worry about it.

The history of humanity is one of devastating, once-in-a-thousand-year events: rising seas that make land uninhabitable, decades-long droughts, civilisational collapse, epidemics like the Black Death and the Spanish Flu that reduce a city’s population by fifty percent. And yet, despite enormous destruction and very real tragedy, these catastrophes all share one common denominator: we survived.

And a new generation of upstarts is using artificial intelligence to automate tasks that once required expensive investment.

To the Corinthians, (1 Co. 2:9) the Apostle Paul wrote: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” But there are gentle ideas suggested throughout Scripture through symbolisms, typologies, and metaphors which are indicative of future events and experiences that await us. Read about some of them here. Future events are cataloged and explained.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, trends already underway toward the future of work and the gig economy rapidly and unexpectedly accelerated.

Silicon Valley is imperializing the planet. With nearly bottomless supplies of cash and ambition, a small group of companies have been gradually seizing symbolic and practical civic leadership in America and worldwide.

Set in David Drake's Hammer's Slammers universe (with his gracious permission) this is a story about a vectored-thrust (aircar) unit that I developed while deployed in Afghanistan.

She leads the troop fighting the El Cator gang in the mountainous Pollo Mountains. It's a counter-insurgency book, so if you're looking for great space battles, this book isn't for you. But it hightlights the vagaries of mountain warfare...
