Jennifer Government
I just finished reading a great book – Jennifer Government (by Max Barry). It’s a fun packed, er, book. The idea is that the US has gone totally capitalist – no taxes, government has almost no power, people use their company name as surname (John Nike) and the police needs to raise money before it can investigate a crime. And that’s just the beginning, it goes totally “whacky” as it evolves.
It’s funny, but also quite insightful – it’s great to read about an extreme situation like this.
