Introduction

THE LAST BASTION OF CIVILIZATION is a series of letters and essays written by various intellectuals and leading figures in the year 2041. They chronicle the rise of Japan as the leading superpower and the fall of Western society. Widespread unemployment, rising illegitimacy, and moral and spiritual decline have led the formerly great United States into a period of extreme mob-driven violence. As speculative fiction, it offers a critically insightful look at a possible future based on today’s events.
