This Used to Be the Future

Longtime Thieves in the Temple blogger Alec Mento returns at last with a dozen new essays excoriating the venality of political and corporate “leaders” and extolling the virtue of informed and optimistic citizens. The title essay explains how we’ve failed the Utopian vision of Star Trek, while other essays explore faith, racism, autism, political correctness, and the devolution of the conservative movement. This Used to Be the Future offers a plain moral vision that puts love over money, work over drama, sobriety over cynicism, and thriving communities over greedy individualists.
