The Untied States of America: Polarization, Fracturing, and Our Future by Juan Enriquez (2005)

is a book on an uncertain future for the USA. Many of the things, which keep the United States of America together are slowly losing ground, making possible an untied future which is hard to imagine today. There are frequent examples of countries breaking up and being created anew. Would the USA be an exception to this historical rule?

The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson (2002)

thinks an alternate history. How would the world look, if Europe would have been wiped out by Black Death in the beginning of the Middle Ages. Although it has a promising beginning, the writing didn't catch my attention, so I didn't finish reading the book.

Eldest (Inheritance, Book 2) by Christopher Paolini (2006)

is the second book in the trilogy. The Rider grows up and gets ready for the battle of this life.

Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1) by Christopher Paolini (2003)

is a surprising book by this young author. Tolkien's world shines through the book, but the addition of dragons makes approach unique. His imaginary world is less detailed than Tolkien's creation, but it still makes an excellent light read.

Jennifer Government by Max Barry (2004)

is a story on all powerful corporations knowing no limits. Although, I really liked Barry's other novel Company, this one I didn't finish reading.
