Note:June 12, 2030 started out like any other day, until a massive earthquake devastated Los Angeles, and the government, always teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, was unable to respond. The fallout from the earthquake sets in motion a sweeping novel of the ideas that pit national hope for the future against assurances from the past, in this all-too-believable imagining of where today's challenges could lead us tomorrow.
