John Griffin, Operation TOGA: Type One Go Ahead.

This book is in large part an attempt to popularize and to advocate a BIG. According to the publisher’s description, “Interwoven fiction and essays illustrate humanity’s chance to “Go Ahead” into a future of peace and prosperity in an increasingly “Type One” — high-energy and wealthy — civilization. Nuclear destruction of a major US port hangs in the balance as Max Progress, extraordinary social innovator, joins open-minded twin sisters Athena and Aphrodite and Iraqi scientist Sumaya in a search for the best paths to personal happiness and a better world. Together they explore fresh perspectives on nuclear power, health care reform, education, a national guaranteed minimum income, and other crucial issues. How will their actions — and perhaps yours — affect the outcome of this ingeniously structured tale?”
