John Moore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2003

While, together on several camping trips, grandfather and grandson, John Moore and David John Eagleton, respectively, wondered what life would be like when David John is as old as his grandfather...in the year 2053. Around many campfires, they speculated about that future world, how it will change, and how David John's life would evolve. What began as whimsical speculations became more believable and from those, a story was born.?It is the story of life in the mid-twenty first century, as it might exist for David John, who will then be in his sixties, and his teenage grandson, David John III.? It is a story of a grandfather and grandson. But it is more than that. It is a commentary on what might come to pass in areas such as technology, politics, warfare, and human relations. If you have ever tried to imagine the future, you know it's relatively easy to dream but it's down right hard to be a credible visionary. However, the authors have woven a mosaic of adventure, romance, and challenge into a believable story. This book will challenge your imagination and your ability to project yourself into time, fifty years in the future. Read it. What you find may astound you.
