The Battle of Stalwarts
Rose Johnston
- It's
- the
- not-too-distant
- future
- in
- the
- American
- west,
- and
- sadly,
- things
- are
- going
- about
- the
- way
- we
- were
- warned
- they
- would
- go
- if
- we
- didn't
- clean
- up
- our
- act.
- The
- only
- way
- forward
- is
- to
- trust
- the
- science.
- Can
- we
- still
- save
- our
- environment?
- Does
- anyone
- even
- know
- what
- that
- means,
- even
- after
- a
- hundred
- years
- of
- Earth
- Days?This
- book
- has
- wild
- horses,
- the
- EverGreenpeace,
- the
- Church
- of
- Wendell
- Berry,
- vat
- meat,
- python
- fights,
- cruise
- ship
- mutinies,
- The
- Glitterati,
- and
- the
- Valley
- of
- the
- Dogs,
- just
- to
- name
- a
- few
- things.
- It
- is
- healthy
- and
- non-dystopian.
- I
- packed
- this
- book
- with
- fictional,
- yet
- possible
- futures,
- because
- I
- care
- about
- stories,
- no
- wonder
- how
- ludicrous
- they
- are.
- It
- could
- happen.
- And
- the
- great
- thing
- about
- science
- fiction
- is
- that
- even
- if
- you
- don't
- read
- it
- now,
- the
- book
- will
- only
- become
- more
- true
- in
- the
- future.And
- if
- you're
- an
- anarchist
- who
- wants
- to
- see
- it
- all
- burn,
- that's
- in
- here
- too.
- Because
- remember,
- my
- friends--Nature
- bats
- last.Despite
- our
- future
- trials,
- which
- are
- numerous
- and
- confusing,
- we
- persevere.
- Because
- life
- is
- either
- a
- grand
- adventure,
- or
- you're
- a
- robot--and
- nobody
- wants
- that.
- Never
- trust
- the robots.
