The Third Term : A Cautionary Tale

Rate this book
"People think - wrongly - that speculative fiction is about predicting the future, but it isn't; or if it is, it tends to do a rotten job of it. Futures are huge things that come with many elements and a billion variables, and the human race has a habit ... What speculative fiction is good at is not the future but the present - taking an aspect of it that troubles or is dangerous and extrapolating that aspect into something that allows the people of that time to see what they are doing from a different angle and from a different place. It's cautionary." - Introduction to Fahrenheit 451, Neil Gaiman.

I was not that wide of the mark given the events of January 6, 2021, and that Third Term is still a possibility.
