    About this ebook

    In a world that is reminiscent of a Philip K.Dick novel since the US Presidential 2016 election, or this story here where a world famous surgeon helps his missing son’s best friend. Only to find that his actions lead to monumental changes in the United States and as well around the world. All in ways he would never have foreseen.

    This was my first ever published short story back in 1990 but is somewhat prophetic as of the 2016 US Presidential election.

    In Memory, Yet Crystal Clear is a story about how a dystopian society came to be in the United States by way of one man. How his brilliant experiments led to America being subverted from the land of the free, to the land of the mentally deranged, all though good intentions and a misbegotten belief in just what America needed.

    In an allegory of what popularism can do to an entire country, this story shares the inside view from one science fiction perspective, one ideal, one man's ability to share the most intimate of things with an entire nation, without anyone ever knowing or seeing what might be happening.

    Except for one man....
