Summary
Optimistic about America’s future? Don’t be.
In his giant New York Times best seller, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, Mark Steyn predicted collapse for the rest of the Western World. Now, he adds, America has caught up with Europe on the great rush to self-destruction.
It’s not just our looming financial collapse; it’s not just a culture that seems on a fast track to perdition, full of hapless, indulgent, childish people who think government has the answer for every problem; it’s not just America’s potential eclipse as a world power because of the drunken sailor policymaking in Washington—no, it’s all this and more that spells one word for America: Armageddon.
What will a world without American leadership look like? It won’t be pretty—not for you and not for your children. America’s decline won’t be gradual, like an aging Europe sipping espresso at a café until extinction (and the odd Greek or Islamist riot). No, America’s decline will be a wrenching affair marked by violence and possibly secession.
With his trademark wit, Steyn delivers the depressing news with raw and unblinking honesty—but also with the touch of vaudeville stand-up and soft shoe that makes him the most entertaining, yet profound, columnist on the planet. And as an immigrant with nowhere else to go, he offers his own prescription for winning America back from the feckless and arrogant liberal establishment that has done its level best to suffocate the world’s last best hope in a miasma of debt, decay, and debility. You will not read a more important—or more alarming, or even funnier—book all year than After America.

A brilliant (and terrifying) listen
Mark Steyn accurately and amusingly sums up what’s gone wrong in our societies and why thing might get worse still. He’s a rare author in that he’s both genuinely brave and offers a fresh look at what we often take for granted. It’s brilliantly narrated, couldn’t recommend highly enough

Steyn warns us (again) and on the money
Another excellent book. Steyn is the modern Cassandra. He warns us, and yet our governments (especially so called conservatives) ignore his advice. He has been proven right time and time again. You can see why the political left are terrified by him.

News from the Future
Any additional comments?
With his distinctive wit and effective turn of phrase Mark Steyn continues his prescient account of the decline of the West. A little less fact-based than its predecessor “America Alone”, this volume is rather like listening to the headlines and editorials of newspapers written in 2020 and 2030. Those whose foolish political policies are responsible for the decline of the West, those who lack any vision of the consequences of their own actions, will doubtless want to ignore and dismiss Steyn’s warning about how devastating those consequences are likely to be. But for the open-minded and unprejudiced, Steyn’s account of the storm that is coming (and which has already begun) is highly plausible and even perhaps inevitable.
If you haven’t heard “America Alone” yet, then listen to that volume first before listening to this one. Find out what’s going to happen to you in your old age and what kind of world your children and grandchildren will be living in.

Alarming and thought provoking.
What did you like most about After America?
Mark Steyn is an accomplished writer, with an approach that makes his arguments and ideas accessible. Even if you don't agree with him, he makes you examine your own views and beliefs, which is what a good polemic should do!
What other book might you compare After America to, and why?
America Alone also by Mark Stein.
Have you listened to any of Mark Steyn’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Yes. I think his books are best performed by Steyn himself.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Another Inconvenient Truth?

Thought provoking a funny
Would you listen to After America again? Why?
Yes and I have. Mark Steyn's work is packed full of interesting writing written in an often amusing way. There is so much to this book that you will want to listen again in order better understand the topics.
Which character – as performed by Mark Steyn – was your favourite?
Mark Steyn is a funny man. I have also listened to America Alone, which is read by someone else, and whilst very good, the funny bits are much better delivered by the person who wrote them.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Too long for that, but it is a book that I listened to on very long hikes without ever getting bored.
Any additional comments?
If you are a conservative, this is a must.

Steynburger
Great content and humour delivered by the man with the hand and the wit on a super sized Steynburger and Truth Salad. Eat up folks and wake up. All the best.

Entertaining Doomsday predictions
The disturbing part is you only have to look outside to verify the veracity of Mr Steyn's claims...
