Synopsis [ edit | edit source ] When heated political debate, burning social divisions, and economic pressures have fanned the flames of malcontent for generations as talking heads vent steam and the states are no longer united, what might bring the great American melting pot to a boil, and how might Steve from Austin or Faye in Denver respond? In this 1997 revision of his 1996 Creative Commons classic, Tom Merritt uses his talents in journalism and knowledge of technology to explore the heights, depths, and breadth of character in America at her darkest hour. Structure [ edit | edit source ] Merritt depicts an America ripping apart at the seams from the vantage point of individuals throughout the country as they experience the nation's worst nightmares playing out in realistic scenarios. From near-prescient accounts of disasters to humanization of politicians and insight about "people we all know", Merritt's method of storytelling is comparable to that of Victor Hugo, Tom Clancy, and Frank Herbert.
