What exactly did the author predict? Although you end negatively I do love books that project into the future – just like Huxley’s Brave New World! What exactly did the author predict?

It is about Watson's experiences as he travels around the United States mostly by rail. I haven't read it yet but the synopsis sounds very interesting because it sounds like a blend between a travel and historical writing. <blockquote>EDITOR: thx for the tip. Have added that book to my shopping list. </blockquote> Another interesting travel book about America which has recently come out is ‘American Journeys’ by Australian writer Don Watson (who also wrote ‘Recollections of a Bleeding Heart’ which was a bestseller).

Its about a beautiful (on the surface) gated community full of expat English in the south of Spain that has a dark and seedy underbelly. It is a great read, The guy can seriously produce some compelling and terrifying concepts. I read “Cocaine Nights” by JG Ballard years ago which I thought was an amazing novel (and would recommend).

Sounds like this could be an intriguing read. I’d be interested to know what things he predicted that came true. Sounds like this could be an intriguing read.
