The Futurist by James P. Othmer has been named the top novel of 2006 by Amazon.com. We loved the book, so we invited Mr. Othmer on the show to discuss this wicked satire of American business and culture.
Here is what the critics had to say about The Futurist,
�??A frighteningly accurate send-up of modern corporate culture.’�??
�??Fortune magazine�??The Futurist is at turns glib, trenchant, cynical, heartfelt, daffy, and harrowing�??often on the same page.�?� �??Entertainment Weekly
�??This intelligent, wise-cracking debut satire takes a hard look at what�??s cool, what�??s not and what people are willing to buy into morally, emotionally and culturally�?�Othmer leaves us with a taste of fear in our mouths even as we�??re laughing at Yates�?? ridiculous life.�?� �??USA Today
An indication of what a great writer James is, he was invited by the New York Times to write a column for the September 11 edition, and he gave us a preview of that as well.
