Abstract
#Calexit, The Upcoming History. This text analyzes the legal, political and human path to follow. What are the steps required to make California a new nation? Is it possible to break the American Union? What should done? Who can lead the initiative? What forces will help to achieve this or to oppose it?
Presented in the form of an exciting novel. This book will help you understand the difficulties that must be overcome. Also, the potential benefits that the California independence process will bring. It points out the difficulties that may arise on the journey towards a new nation.
The idea is to bring the debate closer to citizens, so that they can understand what they should do if they decide to support this initiative... And to see that the action of each person is important in making the decision to maintain a country or make two.
Why an IndieGogo Campaign?
Writing a book in a short time and with the required depth is not easy. Traditional publishers are afraid to support this controversial effort. The promoters of the idea do not want to point out the real risks. Opponents do not want to accept the potential benefits. It is necessary to make a neutral balance of the facts. It is necessary that people had information to decide if will take part in one side or another. It's not a topic for 20 seconds add. Further reflection is necessary. The subject is very important to let apathy win.
But a political essay or academic analysis is difficult to read or boring for most people. It is necessary to tell the history in passionate way. So the people can identify herself or himself with the different characters and positions. Let see themselves in a mirror of fiction. Also, the upcoming history is too interesting. It's irresistible to write about it! A novel is a good form to present the main ideas in an interesting form.
That is why we need the public to determine if this effort should be done. Through an IndieGogo campaign we can guarantee neutrality and independence in the analysis. We will know if the subject generates enough interest. We will see the degree of commitment on the general idea. And we will support a group of authors to achieve this important text. We hope it will be a fundamental text on one of the most interesting topics of the decade.
