Here's one way to solve global warming: Spend $90 trillion (£59 trillion) over the next few years to redesign all the cities as in all the cities on earth so people live in more densely packed neighborhoods and don't need cars.

Have no doubt this is about total control of the population, nothing else.
Self-driving automobiles are soon here and this technology will change the city/suburb dynamic. Republicans can start work while on their way to work, if they're not working from home via high speed internet. Self-flying aircraft will triple the practical commute range. Cities are becoming reservations for Democrats. Republicans need to get out before sundown.
I agree that technology will drive major changes. Many more people will likely work from home. The practical barrier to this now, in many office situations, is the discomfort of many supervisors in managing a remote workforce -- and, frankly, the difficulty of many people of staying productive on a longer leash.
The second book was very interesting and followed the old testament themes from my viewpoint. The fourth book in the series was fairly disturbing and I don't agree with the author eventually allowing Emil to be an ally, but who knows, forgiveness and all that.
At least Sam Hartline was finally killed off! :)
An entertaining series, but got off into some very odd tangents, particularly concerning cannibalism and mutants, but who's to say it couldn't happen? :)
I am rereading The Last Mountain Man series. I really enjoy his writing. It is a shame he died when he did. J A is doing a good job too on the newer books.
Another word for these redesigned cities: Hives.
That’s a great plan - for the construction companies and materials suppliers who are going to make $90 trillion to do the work. And for Dick Blum, because I’m sure he stands to make tens of millions off the deal, somehow. :)
Thanks for the ping!
