Quick Overview

With a keen eye toward current political trends, Walter Mosley projects a near-future United States in which justice is blind in at least one eye and the ranks of the disenfranchised have swollen to dangerous levels. The world of "Futureland" is delineated in nine interconnecting stories whose characters appear and reappear in each others' lives. From Ptolemy Bent, the child genius whose mercy killing of his beloved uncle and grandmother sends him to one of the world's first privatized prisons, to Fera Jones, the first female inter-gender heavyweight champion of the world, who leaves the ring for a political career, Mosley paints a clear picture of what the future could hold if our own political climate continues.

Product Description

Projecting a near-future United States in which justice is blind in at least one eye and the ranks of the disenchanted have swollen to dangerous levels, Mosely offers nine interconnected stories whose characters appear and reappear in each others' lives. For all its denizens, from technocrats to terrorists, celebs to crooks, "Futureland" is an all-American nightmare just waiting to happen.
