2034 by Elliot Ackerman and James Stavridis was mentioned in Thomas Friedman’s NYT Op-Ed “Is There a War Coming Between China and the U.S.?” Friedman writes: “If you’re looking for a compelling beach read this summer, I recommend the novel 2034 by James Stavridis, a retired admiral, and Elliot Ackerman, a former Marine and intelligence officer…What made the book unnerving…was that when I’d put it down and pick up the day’s newspaper I’d read much of what it was predicting for 13 years from now.” Penguin Press published 2034 on March 9, 2021.
