First read in 1998, much of its premise seemed implausible to others, but to me it made a lot of sense…The jury was still out on the future, but the events of American History explained in the context of the saeculum and its generational counterparts made for a lot of good conversations.

Certainly there seems more fear of civil war in America than any time in living memory. There is even a movie about it. Perhaps that makes it less likely. IS Biden our gray eminence?

There is Michael being written now about limits to free will. (
