Description. See WARNING below.
This savage satire reads like watching a fast-paced action
series. The body count soars as America finds out the cost
of stupid laws and insane court decisions that all trace
back to money in politics.
The tiny Big Karma Law Firm files $18 billion of Texas
vigilante abortion lawsuits, funded by millions of vengeful
donors to non-profit Punish Baby-Killers. In other news, the
firm dishes out really Big Karma to airlines, fossil fuel
companies, banks, insurance companies, the Pharma
Cartel, and corrupt politicians.
Native American news anchor Diana Dakota helps the new
owners of MAXNEWS enact a $10 Million Truth Guarantee
and achieves #1 ratings. The guaranteed truth is more
outrageous than any conspiracy theory. One example: how
“donors” to Members of Congress and Senators earn
60,000% annual returns on their bribes. Another: how a
New York Times article in 1970 led to the top 1% of
Americans sucking over $50 trillion in wealth from the
bottom 90%, about $167,000 for every American in the
90% today, including little babies.
All of this is just part of 33-year-old Fort Sumter’s Plan to
Save the World. Now he and his team have the billions they
need for the next step, using money in politics — to end
money in politics.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court continues to consign
human rights to the mercy of state legislatures. Thousands
of women and girls die from routine complications of
pregnancy while saving them would put doctors in prison.
10-year-old girls are forced to carry rape babies or die
trying. Red states enforce travel bans for pregnant people
and protective custody for fetuses.
Non-profit No Rights No Nookie (NRNN) helps millions of
women to legally ban sex in their relationships and advises
on humane lethal enforcement techniques that keep blood
off your nice duvet. Suicide by rape is now a thing. Men are
left to take matters into their own hands.
With no restrictions on firearms, mass shootings outpace
gun sales. Red states scramble to copy Texas’ Good Kids
With Guns Act, arming kids in classrooms. First-person
mass shooter videos in slow motion set to music get over 5
billion views per day on Bullet Ballet.
Drought, floods, fires, hurricanes, and heat domes create
millions of American climate refugees, adding to the rush
of economic and political refugees from Red states.
Then, just months before an election, 170 million American
women find out that the Equal Rights Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution was never ratified. What else could go
wrong? Turns out, plenty.

I use satire to highlight the absurdity of
our situation today, extended a year or
two into the future.
Woven among the plot lines is the true story of America
from 1945 to today which explains how we got here.
Laugh while you can at the twisted, disturbing, and
horrifying events in the book. It won’t be so funny when it
all comes true. And it all could come true.
Still, I am an optimist, because I know that solving all of
our biggest problems is the biggest economic
opportunity in history, and solving them does not cost —
it pays.
I’ve been a Florida resident since 1984, because to me the
a main quality of life metric is how few days you need to
wear long pants.
Lest you get the wrong idea about me from this book, go
to my home page for a free short story that is as utopian
as this book is dystopian.
Book 2 of the Big Karma Law series is coming in 2024.
Thank you for reading!
WARNING:
This book contains no courtroom scenes, no kissing,
no sex except a couple of tasteful post-mortem
accounts, and no mercy.
It contains vivid descriptions of lavish, ridiculous
violence (a million bullets, 127 explosions, and one
harpoon) The body count would make an asteroid
proud.
Even more frightening, there are four lawyers.
