Back to Our Future Hardcover Book by Ballantine Books - Perfect for Sci-Fi Fans, Book Collectors & Gift Giving

I'm about half way through the Kindle Edition, and I must say, this book really picks away at your brain by quickly driving home its message. And I'll have to confess, I'm now a believer. Of course, it wasn't very difficult as I grew up in the '80s.In a nutshell, the Author believes that all of our current political worldviews about war and economics-and that of our politician's-were influenced by many of the TV shows, commercials and pop culture references that we grew up watching as kids during the 1980's......WOW.....I know, what a stretch, right! But it's so TRUE.For example, thanks to the A-TEAM, Americans simultaneously LOVE the military and military types like Sarah-the Commie-Watcher-Palin and John-the Maverick-McCain, but HATE the government-even though they're the exact same thing!It's why we believe that if we "JUST DO IT" we will become rich and famous like Micheal Jordan.And it's why we still believe that "greed is good". In fact, it's doing better than ever. All because of our affinity for the GO GO '80s.According to some Americans, a group of pansy-assed hippie, spitter-on'ers are to blame for losing the War in Vietnam, and by the early '80s they could not accept it any longer. So, we as a nation, had had enough, and through TV, we revised our past. That's why one man-RAMBO!-went back to Vietnam: to finally do the "right" thing and win the war; something that our inept, lefty government could never do.Of course it all started with one of the decade's biggest icons: the ACTOR!-turned-President Ronald Reagan-the "right" man for the "right" job.I could go on and on but I don't want to give away too much. You get the idea. It's all very, very interesting.Anyone who grew up in the '80s should get a kick out of reading this book. Snort a line and ENJOY!
