AGENDA 2060: The Future As It Happens, by A.I.Fabler
Welcome to the future
With the unique benefit of hindsight, and the aid of quantum computing, A I Fabler provides a picture of society in the year 2060 following decades of cultural wars. As the author follows their every move, Professor Jordan McPhee (now deplatformed) and his star pupil, Alexa Smythe, tilt at the windmills of Identity Politics, Free Speech, Global Warming, World Government, Artificial Intelligence and Inter-Planetary Travel that stand in the way of the high ideals enshrined in the World Government’s utopian rule book: The Twelve Articles of Agenda 2060.
This is the future as it happens.
