Welcome back!! The F.A.B. crew is ** finally** ready to board the ship to review sci-fi novel "Aftermath" by living legend, Levar Burton! This week's story takes the ladies into the future...or past, they can't tell. Published in 1997, this story is set in the years between 2015-2018. So the book is from the 1900's just like Moni and Kat, but still around today! Both Classics!! The plot is as follows "Civilization is teetering on the edge. The first African American president is assassinated by a white extremist—just four days after he is elected. The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse, and ultimately, a full-on civil war." (fable.co) Listen as they unpack the similarities of race relations of today, why Moni didn't finish the book and the fact that Kat would absolutely make sweet love to the person who rescued her (hypothetically from an organ harvesting, skin grafting murder factory) ....and why Moni wouldn't! Cheers! Trigger Warning: Most of our episodes contain spoilers, adult content & language. References to sexual assalt/rape, racism/child abuse. Please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded. We are not professionals, or educators or journalists...just friends having candid conversations. **Dedication: To our listeners, future patrons, Black hair, and Kat's mom... and all moms who go hard in the paint! **About the Book *:"The United States of 2019 is a very different place. Economic depression, an enormous earthquake, and the assassination of a black President-elect have turned the country into a war zone. Four people, each as different and troubled as the next, are the nation's last hope. But can they overcome the devastation and build a new world?" -Good Reads About the Author: ***https://levarburton.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVarBurton#Awards, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVarBurton Show Notes: FAB Awards!!!
