Award-winning author W.H. Hawthorne was born and raised in the Alaskan interior. He left his beloved Great Land to pursue a four-decade career in applied research and development, designing autonomous robotics and intelligent systems on projects for DARPA, NASA, DOD, DOE, and others. Often working as an independent contractor, he could usually be found down in the basement lab or in a back corner of the high bay, fingers on a keyboard and half-hidden by scopes, analyzers, and whiteboards.

His debut novel, The Very Last War, draws on those experiences to produce a frighteningly plausible World War III filled with emerging technology, autonomous weapons, political upheaval, and a distinctly unconventional view of American self-government. He insists that he and his boys could build the Hellhound.

Fun, but also kind of serious.

His second book, America Under Test, takes the question of America out of the fictional world. Here Hawthorne applies the same engineering discipline that brought you the Hellhound and the MAV to the design of American self-government. Combining deep systems insight with the writing style that made The Very Last War a #1 Amazon Political Fiction bestseller, Hawthorne reverse-engineers the baseline American design and finds something astounding: a higher-level architecture hiding in plain sight.

It turns out the Founding Generation built something far stranger, more sophisticated, and more generalized than the familiar story of checks and balances suggests.

Serious, but also kind of fun.
