falling deeply indebted to China, the United States government
realizes it must do something to regain its glory. In an ironic twist
of events, the only way America can remain a global superpower is

Order. America halts its development while other nations catch up. In
addition to other invasive new laws, the men of America are forced to
have vasectomies, thus allowing the government to define how many
children a family is allowed to have.

in the powerful hands of an oppressive government.
Accepting
that he cannot bring down the system, Jeremy realizes that the only
way to have any personal freedom is to attempt a daring trip that
will take him to freer shores than the totalitarian states of
America…
