NOVAFUTURA

In this novel a young Iowan changes the curriculum of Liberal Arts Colleges across the nation. Eric DeYoung, a star athlete and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) student, known as the Brain, graduates as the Salutatorian of his class at the ultra-liberal Grinnell College in Iowa. During his address, the young man warns that 70% of his fellow graduates will have difficulty securing meaningful employment in the new Digital Economy. Most will earn advanced degrees and, like their professors, hide on a Degrowth campus with no responsibility to improve the lot of millions of fellow Americans.Eric and his true love, Debra, develop a modified STEM syllabus for liberal arts colleges to graduate men and women able to solve problems for the good of the nation. In a 90-day trial at Grinnell, the results are stunning: both the students and teachers are surprised how quickly critical problem-solving skills are learned. The process has a critical secondary benefit to warn the nation that a Chinese-style Social Credit System (SCS) movement must be stopped because the new STEM graduates won’t live in a dictatorship.The couple creates new company, NOVAFUTURA, to offer this new program globally resulting in a lucrative listing on the New York Stock Exchange. In less than two years, the company provides a high-tech labor force required by the Digital Age.
