2030 by Albert Brooks

Has anyone heard of the comedian, screenwriter and producer, Albert Brooks?  Of course we have but did we know he could write a book?  Well, he did and it was thought provoking.  As interesting as it was disturbing about the future of America, I found we had a lot to discuss at book club!  It definitely made me think about what 2030 would be like…and (to get political for a minute) the importance of our vote.

What will the United States of America be like in 2030? How much control will the government have?  Will there be a massive earthquake in Los Angeles?  Will we be “partners” with China where they own part of a city in America?  Will people be able to live a long, long time due to the cures of diseases that ail us now – like cancer?  Will the younger generation of people be mad that they have to support people are living longer (aka “The Olds”)…???    I could definitely see some of these things happening, however, there were times in the book that I thought it was a bit unrealistic.

One of the last parts of the book was a look into the real estate world in 2030….buying and selling homes completely virtual.  Interesting for sure since I work in the real estate world.

What do you think America will be like in 2030?
