The Future is Here

This is a well written book that focuses on the changing times in America. Our founding fathers expected us to "grow" our democracy as the country grew. Now after two centuries of our country, we have a true melting pot of cultures and ability to communicate from coast to coast in seconds. Our historical identity is changing. Isn't it time to settle down for a second at see what we have acheived and then look forward and see where we can go? Mr. Browder introduces the idea that Americans need to stop for a minute and look around. Once we have, maybe we can decide where America is going in the future.
