Review & Description
Inspired by Venezuela's transformation during its rocky path to 21st Century Socialism, v2036: Sustaining Power in a Militarized Venezuela, is a political thriller where presidential elections, military uprisings, international conflicts and massive displays of social unrest will put the Bolivarian Republic under the magnifying glass.
v2036 pushes the boundaries of fiction by introducing new players into some of the most significant events in Venezuela's democratic history, such as the uprisings of February 4 and November 27 of 1991 and the shootings of April 11, 2002. The characters represent the most influential sectors of today's society, and as their paths collide, their bold undertakings will define how the controversial Bolivarian Republic might face up to its upcoming challenges, as leading the government of a volatile nation falls far beyond the job description of any single man.
A military ruler, an opposition activist and an expatriated citizen will play the famous (and infamous) roles that will lead the once proud nation to a brighter future . . . or to its final demise. Read more
