2044

"2044" starts where George Orwell's 1984 left off. The problem isn't Big Brother and the leviathan government. It's Big Brother, Inc., and the all-powerful marketplace. In "2044," engineer Malcolm Moore discovers a cheap, easy way to take the salt out of seawater. Fresh water is scarce enough right now; by the year 2044, people will die and countries will go to war for water. Malcolm's discovery could help people everywhere - but it also threatens interests who are happy the way things are. Malcolm is branded a terrorist. People who know his secret are harassed, jailed and even killed. With the assistance of Jessica Frey, an attorney he met on a bad date, Malcolm tries to stay alive long enough to bring his water to the world. Quickly they learn that change isn't easy when big business prefers the status quo. Join them on an adventure filled with danger, invention and surprise in "2044."
