Partially Yours

Wombat Group Media Posted on 3 August 2013 by Lance C.12 May 2020

South

A while back, I posted about fashion in 2032 in connection with my work-in-progress, South. One aspect I didn’t think much about is passive surveillance countermeasures. Discovery News wrote on 18 January about Adam Harvey, a New York artist and … Continue reading →

Getting Around in 2032

Wombat Group Media Posted on 1 October 2012 by Lance C.12 May 2020
South

  Flying cars? Teleportation? Bullet trains? Not even. In the version of 2032 envisioned by South, governments don’t have money to spend on real police or schools, far less this kind of stuff. The transportation picture then looks much as … Continue reading →

In Part 1, I went over the current state-of-play in American healthcare finance and reviewed the Republican proposals for changing the system. Assuming this agenda takes hold (the basis for the future I planned for South), we end up with … Continue reading →

Welcome Back to Manzanar

Wombat Group Media Posted on 5 September 2012 by Lance C.19 September 2016
South

In South’s version of 2032, our hero Luis helps American Muslims go south across the border into the relative safety of civil war-wracked Mexico to escape from the detention camps that have swallowed 430,000 of their co-religionists. How did this … Continue reading →
