Resumen del Editor

An autocratic United States president who has shredded the nation of its freedoms, imprisoning dissidents, declaring the country a “Christian Nation,” and who is willing to go to any length to win the next election—that’s Fremont Ferris (for Philip K. Dick fans, a reversal of the name of the president, Ferris Fremont, in his novel, Radio Free Albemuth). Luke Evangelista, a down-and-out writer with a conscience, goes after the president when he learns that a supposed terror attack was actually staged to rally support for the president in the upcoming election. 2020 is both an edge-of-your-seat political thriller and a sophisticated analysis of the kinds of rebellion that can bring such a dictatorial leader down. "...a parable for our current predicament, offering the lens of fiction as a way to see options, possibilities, and dangers looming on our political horizon." Rivera Sun, peace activist and author of "The Dandelion Revolution" "2020 scares me. It's so utterly credible,so damn possible, that it sent me running for cover—only to find that there is no cover. Don't say Casey Dorman didn't warn us." Leslie Bohem, Emmy-Award winning Screenwriter and Producer "Casey Dorman's 2020 is both terrifyingly relevant and downright plausible in our terrible, Trumped-up times. It's also a genuine thriller, with Rashomon-like twists and surprisingly (perhaps) fun to read." David P. Barash, professor emeritus of psychology, University of Washington, National Book Award Nominee, author of the forthcoming, "Through a Glass Brightly: using science to understand our species.
