The Prometheus Frontier 2021, by Kevin Osborne
The Prometheus Frontier is a fictional sequel to the author’s 2014 non-fiction Prometheus Connection. In that book, the final chapter sets forth an imagined ideal society of reason and freedom.
As a fictional sequel, The Prometheus Frontier dramatizes how that ideal society might come to be—the what, the how, and the why of it.
The what is a sovereign island acquired by an inspired and brilliant visionary who has amassed a titanic fortune. The how is a group of men and women fired by his vision who have formed a society to actualize it. The why is a declaration of freedom, the seminal founding document, advancing the philosophy making this vision possible and driving it to actualization.
Many dream of an ideal society and have imagined a number of ways it might happen. Often, they are based on fantasy.
But other scenarios are based upon reality—on what already exists. The Prometheus Frontier is one of them.
THEME: A sovereign island nation begins the world over again.
PLOT THEME: Arete, a totally free island nation, unimaginably flourishes, while an envious,
threatened world seeks to annihilate it.
