What Does the Future Hold?

This week, the UK discovered sufficient people had voted to leave the EU. Britain would no longer be part of the European Community. What does that mean? It all seems rather vague at the moment, with people feeling angry and frightened or elated. Is it possible to 'go it alone'? Can we survive economically? Will we be better off? As we watch our markets plummet, we can only hold on and wait. It is still too early to know.

But what if the opposite had happened? What if, instead of the UK leaving the EU, the world became more unified? What if there was one, global government?

Imagine for a moment, the changes that a central government might implement. Imagine no more famine, no more wars, no more poverty. How would education be accessible?

What about more personal things, like obesity and anorexia? - Could they too be a thing of the past?

And how would terrorism be approached? Religion has caused so much trouble over the years, would a global government allow it to continue?

These are the themes in the book that everyone is talking about: Counting Stars by Anne E Thompson.

It is available from Amazon as a Kindle book. The link is below (you might need to copy and paste it into your browser bar.)
