SMARTPHONE WAR

In this novel, China's attempt to complete the creation of the United Socialist States of America is thwarted by American iPhone technology. China s 50-year campaign needed the creation of a Social Credit System (SCS) modelled after Beijing s complete control of all its citizens. Millions of cameras watch every move, and SCS demerits ruin people s lives forever, complete with prison terms. In the background, China s Chairman realizes just how bad their economy is and devises plans to steal American wealth. They successfully steal a huge sum from retirement funds managed by Morgan Stanley to provide wages to unpaid workers. America s Apple iPhone is manufactured in China--500,000 a day--which the Chinese government seizes in order to keep the profits. An undeclared Cell Phone War commences. The war ends with American technology stopping the use of 7-milion iPhones in the city of Tianjin, the world s busiest port. The Chinese personal activities and commerce come to a halt, and they are forced to sue for peace. President Preston uses the end of the Cell Phone War to begin programs to stop the march toward Socialism in America. A new era of cooperation begins to allow America to continue to implement Thomas Jefferson s visions for the Republic.
