Imagine, or if you can, try to remember, life before the internet and social media: a world without Google, Amazon, Facebook, TikTok, and X formally known as Twitter). A time when Silicon Valley and the world of high-tech had yet to dominate global markets, when business was still almost done on a handshake and highway 101 from San Francisco airport to Sunnyvale was bustling with developers, bankers........ and hustlers.  

In A CALIFORNIA COUP, the volume completed in 2019, a dying and rambling US Senator talks >to a nurse in a Swiss hospital how during the Kennedy Administration, Communist sleepers were planted in the US. At the end of the book, set in the near future, a young female Hispanic activist has her birth certificate altered to show that she was born in the US - so she can become America's first socialist President...
