I recently read Neil Stephenson's book called "Fall", in which a significant chunk of the novel is set about 30 years in the future. At that point in time, large swathes of America are referred to as "Ameristan", because they are break-away territories ruled by evangelical warlords. It feels surprisingly prescient.
We here in bama have been preferring the term Talibama.
Y'all Qaeda is also acceptable.
Neil Stephenson is a high effort author to read but the payoff more than makes up for it. I have yet to convince anyone else to read Snow Crash 😔
Snow Crash is awesome
More like the author read the writing on the wall for the past 50 years.
I think about the Ameristan stuff and people being "facebooked" all the time since reading that book. In the time since I read it I feel like we just keep getting closer and closer to that reality.
