To solve its multiple challenges post-2024, America must act with intelligence and wisdom, which can only come from an active and well-informed citizenry. The issues that confront us post-2024 are profound: climate change, inequality, artificial intelligence, an unstable geopolitical global order, and more.
To solve its multiple challenges post-2024, America must act with intelligence and wisdom, which can only come from an active and well-informed citizenry. The issues that confront us post-2024 are profound: climate change, inequality, artificial intelligence, an unstable geopolitical global order, existential threats from unfriendly nations, just to name a few. A democracy needs an educated citizenry. And an educated citizenry needs not just information, but knowledge and understanding.

As the dust settles from the 2024 presidential election, the issues that affect us are profound, ranging from Artificial Intelligence to an existential threat from unfriendly nations. How we act post-2024 will affect our America and our children's America. Our future depends on the proactive action that we take now, which is influenced by how much we understand today's issues. This is a book about today's America.
