Timed just days before America’s 249th Independence Day, the novel asks a sobering question: Are Americans still free in the way the Founders intended, or have the institutions they built begun to unravel?
A Nation in Question
Set in a near-future United States dominated by authoritarian politics and AI-driven control, the novel presents a speculative world that is alarmingly plausible. In Brodie’s vision, democracy is not toppled by revolution, but by slow erosion. Corporate power, media consolidation, and mass surveillance have replaced public discourse with algorithmic programming and apathy.
The story follows ordinary citizens, spiritual leaders, AI ethicists, and disillusioned political insiders who form a nonviolent movement based on conscience, truth, and unity. The novel is as much a warning as it is a call to action.
Current trends suggest this fiction reflects reality. According to Pew Research (April 2025), only 14 percent of Americans trust the federal government to do what is right. A recent NPR/Ipsos poll shows that nearly 70 percent believe democracy is in crisis. The 2024 election saw record-low youth turnout and a historic rise in misinformation driven by generative AI.
A Five-Day Campaign of National Reflection
From July 2 to July 6, Brodie’s team will release a series of daily statements addressing the deeper themes of the book and the present-day American condition.
• July 2: The Quiet Collapse of Independence
• July 3: Silicon Tyranny and the Algorithmic State
• July 4: A New Declaration for a Fractured Republic
• July 5: The Return of Conscience and Collective Faith
• July 6: What Comes After Illusion
"In 1776, independence was a moral act, not a holiday," said Brodie. "This book asks whether we still have the courage to choose liberty, or whether we’ve grown too comfortable watching it slip away."

The Tipping Point: Republic on the Brink
By John Ashmead Brodie
This novel blends speculative fiction, spiritual insight, and political urgency. It explores a United States at the edge of collapse and a movement that rises in response, not with violence, but with a radical return to love, civic unity, and truth.
