Stefan Molyneux's latest novel, The Future,
depicts a future free of government

Blazing Reader,

Set about 500 years in the future, The Future by Stefan Molyneux isn't your typical sci-fi novel.

The story begins with the last president of the United States of America being awakened out of cryogenic freeze to a new civilization bereft of any form of government.

Instead of government, law and order are maintained by private companies known as Dispute Resolution Organizations. There is no public property; everything is owned privately. The novel does a good job of showing how such an anarchist society could not only operate but thrive.

The crux of the quasi-utopian society's success, however, is not based on anarcho-capitalism but on the concept of "peaceful parenting." Any form of abuse to children, physical or verbal, has been eliminated from society through strict rules and advanced technology.

From a philosophical point of view, the novel pulls you in with its practical display of a society based on freedom from any form of force or coercion (especially of children). The psychological dives into the characters' minds are riveting. The only area the story possibly lacks is in the action department. There is enough of a solid plot to keep you entangled. Still, I would have preferred the philosophy had been dramatized through a more complex storyline rather than long stream-of-consciousness reflections and so much dialogue.

Otherwise, a brilliant and unforgettable read available exclusively from the author's website at: https://freedomain.com/freedomain_books/the-future/

Stay sane & read great books,
