PROLOGUE 2040. So much has changed… … Changes in understanding … Changes in technology … Changes in culture … Changes in economics … Changes in lifestyle … Changes in values … Changes in identity … Changes in warfare … In structured and unstructured power. Change continues to be the key driver promoting violence and the disintegration of long standing social behaviors that promote societal order. Change has come to be the carpet laying ambassador of the criminal insurgency we are experiencing today in 2040. The United States looks less united and more like a balkanized set of tribal territories some adapting to the new business plan, some less so.
