October, 2017 – News reports of the specter of the incineration of an American or Japanese city by a totalitarian North Korean dictator have seized the world's attention. Tokyo alerts it citizens, while Washington sends its carrier battle groups to North Korean waters. In the same week Vladimir Putin warns the world that soldiers unlike any in history may soon change the face of warfare: "One can almost imagine that people will be able to create human beings with specific characteristics. This can be a brilliant mathematician, or a brilliant musician, but it can also be a soldier – a human being capable of fighting without fear, without compassion, without regret, or even pain." Author's Note: Today, as I updated the blurb for my 2013 novel, I realized that I could not have written a better description of The Final Inhumanity than Vladimir Putin's 2017 statement.
