A Multitude of Hope
A Novel About Rediscovering the American Dream By Peter Weddle The American Dream is over. That’s what more than a few people are saying. But, they’re wrong! A Multitude of Hope traces the experiences of three out-of-work professionals – all Baby Boomers, but they could be Americans of any age. Their search for reemployment feels like a journey through a modern heart of darkness. Along the way, however, something extraordinary happens. One of them is contacted by a secret online group of activists called Walden 4G. Its mission? To hack the privileges of investment bankers and hedge funders and destroy their hold on America’s workplace. To practice, as they put it, “economic disobedience.”
Drawing on the self-reliance of Thoreau’s Walden and the quest for an American utopia in B.F. Skinner’s Walden Two, Walden 4G shows the three job seekers a different way forward. This new pathway offers them revitalized careers but also requires rethinking their role at work. It confronts each of them with a stark choice: will they accept a familiar but diminished future or will they reset themselves and reclaim the hopefulness of the American Dream?
Ripped right from today’s headling Multitude of Hope reveals the inescapable choice that every American must now make. For more information and to read an excerpt of the book, please click here.
