Constitution 20XX

About the Book

This fictitious story starts with a cataclysmic decimation of the world adult population by an uncontrolled biological event. A surviving old man in Angel Fire, New Mexico, helps the school children of that village survive in the wilderness using pioneer-like skills. As the youths mature they seek out other surviving groups, in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, and develop rules to live by — a new constitution for a re-born nation. The complete Constitution, applicable also to us today, is presented in the appendix.
