If anyone is interested in an actual discussion of the upcoming crisis period they will want to read a non-fiction book on it

The Fourth Turning

The authors make a case for generational aspects driving historical cycles that we don't see because we're in them. They use concrete examples to show how generations differ and then attempt to predict what this means for the present and the future. They show how a crisis period inevitably comes around in the cycle. Past US crises: depression/WW2, civil war, revolution.

Their crisis period begins 2005, but these things are allowed to be off a few years.
