Coming Soon: The Fourteen Points
This is not a novel about time travel.
It is a story about a civilization that has lost its way, and what it will take to redeem it.
Two men—a physicist and a historian—must unlock not only the secrets of the universe, but find the key to restoring mankind to its proper fate.
If you have ever looked out at the world of men and asked, “Is this all there is?” this story is for you. If you have ever turned away in disappointment or disgust from a sermon, a textbook, or a political speech, this story is for you. Of course, “there is more” to life, but the promise of the tomorrow we are all hoping for is only to be found in reclaiming the past.
The point—The Fourteen Points—are the only way forward.
The History of Tomorrow
In this sequel to the History of Now, historian Scott Powell extends the explanatory power of present-centrism to create a predictive framework to prepare us for the world we will live in.
That world will be far-removed from anything we have known.
It will be Post-Americanistic.
By tracking the history of the American social contract, with a special focus on political economy, and combining the results with a detailed study of America’s foreign policy entanglements, Powell demonstrates that history—properly integrated—not only allows us to understand how the world came to be the way it is, but can arm with foresight into a future that is just around the corner.
The History of Now: A New Kind of History
In the History of Now, historian Scott Powell makes the case for a radical reinterpretation of history.
Instead of being thought of as “the study of past,” history must be integrated into a revelation and explanation of the world we live in.
In remarkably short order the reader is guided through a synopsis of world cultures and their origins, which anchors a wide-ranging and penetrating analysis of each culture’s own trajectory and, ultimately, its contribution to the flow of human events today.
The outcome is a seamless construct of striking explanatory power and relevance.
The History of Now is indeed a new kind of history!
The 4-Hour Historian
Cram it all in. Take the test. Forget. We have put up with textbooks for far too long. In the 4-Hour Historian, Scott Powell shows us a better way. Four hours is all you need to discover what history was always supposed to be—not a never-ending stream of useless facts about the past that have nothing to do with real life, but rather: a revelation and explanation of the world we live in. In this first volume of a new series of anti-textbooks, you will learn only what you need to know in order to make sense of the world. And you will really learn it.
Note: the 4-Hour Historian is designed specifically for high-school students. Older readers beware: you may not be able to believe how clear and relevant history can be!
