Disconnected
Our addiction -- our insatiable need for content, connection, and clever gadgetry occupies our immediate attention, but little time is spent thinking about where we are taking it, or better yet, where it is taking us. DISCONNECTED is a thought provoking, and hopefully entertaining, journey with a little earthly self-reflection... The story’s very gifted characters, navigate a society in the not-so-distant future where life revolves and evolves around energy, communications, and most importantly -- connectivity. Politics, work, school, and life's basic necessities become enmeshed in the Internet's successor -- the Plane. Populations around the world are interconnected like a herd of antelope on an annual migration; some are left to the edges, or allowed to stray too far behind. For those that do, the world is none too kind. An ambitious plan to colonize Mars in the year 2045, may be just what is needed to help sort out technology's role in the evolution of human civilization.

Really love this book especially the Preamble!! I went to reread it again and it's no longer available?
I worked directly with author and he has an amazing forecast of the future. Then and when he wrote this book. I hope it's still available. I could see some of the book in a podcast. I'll check out the "new one???" to see what that's about. I believe there maybe 2 Jim Cunningham's on this site so I'm hoping I get back Jim with the 3 sons one back soon!. Highly suggest checking the book out! 01.06.2026
p.s. Not sure what happened in late 2025 and early 2026. I think I need to re-contact Amazon. I've had this issue, I believe for about a month. I originally bought the book via Apple itunes in 2012 or 2013 but can't find that data! I've contacted Amazon and did as suggested by signing out and signing back in to refresh my KINDLE APP, but the book is no longer available but now the book has an UPDATE Disconnected 2046(?) as a preview?
I don't understand! Can't I have original book with all the "old material" and have or rather buy the new e-book? This is NOT on GoodReads! This is either due to Amazon (I have not linked my account) or Apple. I just don't get what happened.
