About this book

In his most fascinating book yet, #1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich envisions what daily life in America will look like 50 years from now--and argues the future is golden. Imagine it's 2076, and America is celebrating the 300th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Despite fears over the AI revolution and pessimism from the Left, Gingrich sees a future in which Donald Trump's transformative presidency and rapid technological breakthroughs have ushered in a true golden age. A follow-up to the bestseller Trump's Triumph, the former House Speaker explains the enduring legacy of Trumpism and uses lessons from history to help readers understand America's exciting future. Gingrich takes readers on a sweeping journey through United States history in 50-year increments, using this framework to show patterns of America's changes and innovations. With informed optimism, Gingrich explains like no one else can how technological advancements are going to change the economy, national security and our lives for the better. For example, the marriage of artificial intelligence, robotics, and specialized materials science is completely reworking manufacturing. Small modular nuclear power plants will soon provide an abundance of carbon-free energy. Biological breakthroughs will allow today's 20-year-olds to live to 115 with the energy and capacity of today's 60-year-olds. Advancements in space travel will make Americans a spacefaring people. As Gingrich explains, this doesn't mean there aren't downsides to these advancements, or real threats such as nuclear proliferation, war, and political division that could get in the way. But exciting, dynamic years are ahead of us. We are on the edge of a world of endless possibilities. We can achieve America'sGolden Age of prosperity, safety, and freedom. This book explores how to plan for a future of endless potential--and then turn the plan into reality.
