The Second Decade: A Provocative Novel about the Future of America

(Lulu) What changes will our current decade bring? In this novel, Minier envisions the future and presents the historical record of the next 10 years — which he believes will be the most transforming and enlightening decade since the American Revolution. In his account, the decade is one of progressive programs and historical firsts — from wealth-sharing measures such as salary caps to the election of the first female president, Michelle Obama. Minier is a retired Superior Court judge who currently serves as an assigned judge throughout California.
