I know. It's spreading. See? Far from declining, Americans are transforming themselves into 'Moon People' - as the title of this important new book shows. I see this book as a 'Brave New World' for the 21st century. The author is the new Aldeous Huxley, but reversed. This time, not a dismal and bleak new world, but a glorious future behind the new frontier - the moon - awaits America.

The book is about Americans boldly entering a new phase in their existence. Seeking new frontiers. After the West was won, the pivotal analogy for America's frontiers has been, since the day of Kennedy (the white Obama), the race to the moon.

What is an American? It is a person who seeks out new frontiers, carves himself an existence out of the wilderness. This frontier is both external, in the physical world, and internal.
Now, whereas moon travel in the 20th century was the sole privelidge for only a handful of Americans, in the 21st century, as this book describes, all Americans will be able to seek their inner frontier on the moon. And become 'Moon People'. It is the triumph of democracy, the fullfilment of the American Dream. It is the promise of the Obama era.

This book then, is to literature what Obama is to politics. If anybody can be president, then anybody can be a novelist.
