The State Is Out of Date

A humorous and at times brutally honest overview on many of the problems . . . that we presently endure through our political and cultural divide.-Robert Steven Thomas, author of Intelligent Intervention As disillusioned citizens across the planet take to the streets, do you wonder if the world's nation states will ever get it right? Does anyone really think that politics is working-aside from those in power and behind it? What if living together in peace and harmony is a more natural condition than what we experience in today's conflict-driven culture? We are community animals with built-in empathy, good at organizing things and helping each other out. The most essential and reliable features of our culture arose without top-down planning by a state that has one basic objective-to stay in power. We have enjoyed enduring civilizations in the past governed wholly from the bottom-up, without need of a shepherd and sheepdogs. We can do it again and are more connected than ever before. The State Is Out of Date reassures us that politics is not even the primary game in town, though it sometimes may seem like the only one. It is a book for all those who wonder why politics isn't working and what would. A book of immense importance that also happens to be immensely readable. Get it now, read it now. You'll be amazed, impressed, persuaded, infuriated and filled with hope for a future that awaits us if only we are prepared to make the right choices.-Graham Hancock, New York Times bestselling author of America Before Gregory Sams is a prophet of conscience.-Lanny Cotler, film writer and director
