Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that reimagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview different guests about the topics they’re most passionate about. This week I had the opportunity to interview J.R Harber, an environmentalist, founder of a nonprofit animal rescue, and author of the timely, new post-pandemic fiction novel The Future Was Now.As an advocate for stronger environmental and watershed protection, among other things, Harber pens a cautionary and timely tale that explores contemporary events such as a global pandemic, environmental pollution, artificial intelligence, universal income, and privacy protection all while challenging us to consider what we would sacrifice to give all a safer world.The Future Was Now wrestles with different approaches to how people live and consume resources after a global pandemic destroys the world that we know today. The new society that rises from the ashes is forced to make tough decisions in order to ensure a sustainable world for future generations. This post-apocalyptic novel examines responses to current themes in distinct potential societies that we could become tomorrow.You can get the book at www.beyondhorizonseries.comSubscribe to the show and follow us on Facebook // Instagram // Twitter // YoutubeRemember to leave us a rating and review if you enjoy the content brought to you every week.
