2044 on FireDogLake

I’ve blogged about my novel, 2044 [1], here [2] and here [3]. 2044 is a future tale that starts where George Orwell’s 1984 left off. The problem in 2044 isn’t Big Brother and the leviathan government. The problem is Big Brother, Inc., and the all-powerful marketplace.

This post broadens the horizons. FireDogLake will feature 2044 on its book salon [4] on Sunday.

If you weren’t familiar already, FireDogLake’s book salon [4] is a terrific forum where authors discuss their work. It’s an on-line conversation and a chance for direct Q&A on important subjects. This Sunday’s forum will put me in the company of James Galbraith [5] (about the economy), Tom Ricks [6] (about Iraq) and Eric Boehlert [7] (about blogging on the bus), who have all been on Firedog’s book salon. Of course, I’ll be talking about 2044 [1], my new novel where the government doesn’t take over. It gets taken over.

The salon takes place every Sunday evening.
I’ll be on this Sunday, July 6 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. EDT. [4]Right after we celebrate our independence. [8]

Please join us. And ask me a question. A hard one.
It’s not necessary but of course it’s more than okay if you buy a book. [9]

    PS: Chapter one [10] is available on my web page.
