Set amid the most polarizing political era in modern American history, Shad Olson's 'American Requiem' is 100 of his selected essays, commentary, short stories and investigative journalism written on and during the most consequential news events over the past four decades. Combining near clairvoyant political foresight and prosaic literary style, Olson summarizes America's precipitous decline from the golden age of the latter 20th Century, into a devolving human social condition beset by accelerating advances in multiple disruptive technologies like genetics, artificial intelligence and social media and the widening political divide between factions pushing for antithetical versions of America's future. "From Russian hoaxes and Chinese bioweapons, artificial intelligence, digital surveillance and censorship, the cultural Marxism and climate change fanaticism being used to advance a globalist economic dictatorship…or my own Chinese student travels with a Maoist Nebraska school teacher named Tim Walz 30 years ago, these disparate pieces put the struggle for free humanity’s future into the context of daily events." "As individual pieces told contemporaneously, they are incomplete and unworthy as I am. Taken as a whole, they capture at least a part of what’s happened to all of us, one hoax, one media smear, and one ps-op at a time." Can America survive another century as anything resembling the nation we've known and loved, or will she be torn apart by our political differences, taken over by foreign adversaries and swallowed whole by an advancing transition to global government hostile to independent nations and demonstrably intent on the erasure of the most prosperous free nation in human history?
