Liberation
Liberation: Being the Adventures of the Slick Six After the Collapse of the United States of America - the author of the pulp SF phenomenon Spaceman Blues comes a future history cautionary tale in the vein of 1984 or The Handmaid’s Tale. Liberation is a speculation on life in near future America after the country has suffered total economic collapse—a path that’s currently seen as a plausible and grave threat by real-world economists.
Liberation posits that, with no economic grounding, the US will see the resurrection of ghosts of its past like the human slave trade and armed battles with marauding Indians. The resulting novel is a meditation on how ordinary people find joy even in the most hostile living conditions. Our heroes are the Slick Six, a group of international criminals who have set out to alleviate the worst of these conditions and set America on the road to recovery.
