Post-America: how and why the USA is changing

In 2026, the United States of America will celebrate the 250th anniversary of its independence. Over this time, the main ideas that once created this country have evolved into something else, transformed, acquired new meanings, or experienced a crisis. The author's intention is to understand the character and direction of this "movement," the very nature of the phenomenon he calls "Post-America" – America of a new state and new "quality."

Any ideas are of little significance detached from their creators, carriers, and those they are directed towards – people. Therefore, this book is also about people – "ancient," modern, and future Americans. Writers, thinkers, inventors, travelers, merchants, soldiers, diplomats, activists, and con artists – all whose hands "built America" and continue to do so. What did they want and what did they think about when they wrote their treatises, waged wars, created enterprises, and explored the spaces of the North American continent? Have their descendants managed to preserve their legacies, done even better, or ruined everything? And what do ordinary (and not so ordinary) Americans living in metropolises and rural areas care about today: how do they speak, what are they passionate about, where do they travel, and, most importantly, what does all this tell us about American society and government?
