The Futurist

He makes a spectacular living traveling the globe and spouting prepackaged wisdom to the leaders of government and business, but a Dear John letter from his girlfriend and mini-bar's worth of alcohol send The Futurist off track at a Johannesburg Futureworld Conference and onto a collision course with his own future.

James Othmer walks a perfect line between a hilariously entertaining novel and a sharply sardonic commentary on the role of American Empire in his debut novel, The Futurist.
