Ofcourse with what is currently happening on the US it is possible. One man is deceiving everyone and running the country to the ground.

Most of the Books I have read in the past had ideas that have become realities in our time. So, this book could be predicting the future of this world.

It is entirely possible as you have to remember that the United States forms a small part of the world. With governments like China and Russia existing, the United States is slowly losing its dominant position in world politics.

This book does give a good possibility of what might happen in the future, but I think it is just a dystopian fantasy.

"Do you think it is a possibility that the country of the United States would lose its power in the near future?" Yes. It is currently happening. Patriotism wanes, when the governed, see the hypocrisy of the government.

I wouldn't make such a political statement on a public forum, but personally, I do agree with you :D

I don't understand what you mean by that statement. The change wouldn't abruptly start from America though. I think it will slowly start evolving in the nook and corners of the world, and then spread through the other nations, demanding America to step down, or something like that.

Fuzaila wrote: 01 Aug 2018, 00:35 World, Incorporated depicts the country of United States, which is no longer ruling the world. The unrest and intolerance in present day America is a clear indication that the future is not as secure as the government wants us to believe. Do you think it is a possibility that the country of United States would lose its power in the near future? Do you think the world created by Tom Gariffo is a possibility? Why do you think so? Why not?
I think there is always a possibility that the future could unfold as depicted in this book. Control of pollution and climate change would be nice but other things, obviously, not so much! Will the U.S lose its power in the near future? Not totally, but the country no longer controls as much power as it did in the recent past. I think many of the things Gariffo predicts could be a possibility simply because he has built upon current events in a way that is very believable.

I think this prediction of the future is already taking it place.
