Educational fiction is an effective method of learning - The 9-part Edges series set in 2030 showcases America after the country has been ravaged by an unprecedented political regime which has stripped away democracy from the memories of its residents. The Ruling Courtly family splashes their name on buildings and merchandise to remind citizens about who is in charge. Lawlessness is allowed to flourish to discombobulate the people so they never organize and rise up against the corporate fiefdom, which maintains tight control. Newspaper reporter Bjorn Esterday's investigative division is downsized, but as he moves to popular lifestyles, he brings his hard-edged curiosity to a seemingly innocuous assignment only to be slapped with deadly ramifications. How can he and Sarah Paradise, clever school teacher, challenge such a venomous force? (PRNewsfoto/Pure Force)

What will indicate America has become a Corporatocracy?
What fashionable technologies will be popular in a Corporatocracy?
Will the ruthless arena of Courtly City permit a vulnerable heart to succumb to the love of another's warm embrace?

The nine-part series Edges introduces the dynastic Courtly family, who rises to power when bankrupt American cities convert to Corporatocracies, cities ruled by corporations.

Courtly City Citizens navigate daily life, tempted by electronic diversions. The Soldier Police uniform retrieves citizen identification data from a source similar to today's SocialCloud. These data are then displayed on SP visors.

In Edges, Sarah, a single woman, like myself, is suspicious, then enthralled with ruggedly handsome reporter Bjorn Esterday. But, is he to be trusted? Can American society co-exist with nano-level artificial intelligence, which muddies the difference between reality and fantasy?
