In the time of Trump knowledge is power and a deeper understanding of the dystopian model is imperative.

Also examined are the intertwining roots of dystopia and fascism from Mussolini to Hitler and now today.

With quotations from George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells, and Ayn Rand as well as defining essays on Christian nationalism, historical dystopia, and a fascinating overview of fascism by the author-narrator this is more than an audiobook, more than entertainment - here is a manual of how to navigate our complex world in what may be our first truly post-democratic era from best-selling author and Emmy-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano.
