Julian Comstock: A Story of 22nd-Century America
This novel presents a future history of the United States in the 22nd century, depicting a society that has undergone significant technological decline and cultural transformation. The narrative centers on Julian Comstock, a figure from a powerful lineage, as he navigates a world where organized religion holds immense political and social control, and where the memory of earlier, more technologically advanced eras has faded into legend. The story explores themes of belief, power, and the cyclical nature of history within a post-industrial, neo-feudal American landscape. more
