If you think there's a cultural divide today, read author A.S. Anand's portrayal of the year "2032" and pray you never live to see it.  The world is cut into "Sectors" by a "Global Government" and people are shipped off to "appropriate" locales. Those who don't learn English are "eliminated" and some women are literally "born" to be a never-ending succession of maids.  And the megalomaniacs of the year 2032 come in every flavor, from presidents to architects, with a pirate thrown in as counterpoint.This is a unique and prodigious work by a very talented writer. "2032" is both frightening and enlightening, an exaggeration of some troubling present-day issues: multinational corporations and their sinister influence on the world economy, the ever-increasing divide between the "haves" and "have-nots" and - worse - the growing rationalization of it all.Maybe we should change course before it's too late.  Don't miss it.  The book, that is...
