By Daniel Rigney Gazing into my crystal screen, I’m summoning the New York Times Future Edition and checking out the best-selling titles of 2020. Which of these will you be dowloading six years from now?
Non-Fiction

Oil War Seven. In retrospect, could the oil and water wars between Hamas and Hezbollah and their proxies have been avoided? An Al-Jazeera analyst weighs in.
The Year 2010: A Look Backward. A nostalgic tribute to the Facebook era, as told by Zenoids now in their third iterations.
The Dog Art of George W. Bush. Coffee table book. A former U.S. President paints canine subjects, applying both oil-based and exterior latex enamels to their coats.
Investment Banking as a Moral Vocation. Tastefully understated yet quietly impressive recollections of Yale's entire 1980 graduating class. Self-published.
‘S’up With Books? Have a future? Or 2 many words? Young like terser media.

Apocalypse Whenever. Bored suburban teens text each other, hang out, and talk about nothing in particular with the aid of the most sophisticated communications technology ever devised.
My Mother Was Only Human. Science fiction account of a cyborg’s intimate conversations with her virtual therapist. Don’t blame the programmer.
A Collision of Genres. A cold war spy, a jewel thief, and an art forger walk into a bar and vie for the affections of an innocently romantic prostitute with a mysterious interplanetary past.
Perry Hotter and the Pitchfork of Justice. A fictionalized Southern governor dies and goes to fundamentalist hell, where a grinning liberal Satan awaits him.
The Unfinished Novelist. An unfinished novel within an unfinished novel about a writer who forgets why he started writing in the first place and (spoiler alert) just trails off into ....
