TURN YOUR TV OFF, FREE YOURSELF FROM THE NOISE.

Sit with the American Dream- its glory and warts laid bare. Is it enough? Amidst its divisions, inequalities, and relentless individualism, creativity and compassion somehow persist. We dream of a better world, yet the system urges complacency, discouraging connection and dissent. In times of upheaval, instead of seeking approval, we must lay a sustainable foundation. Today calls for innovation, collaboration, and the courage to reveal your authentic self. Survival depends on our relationships, but thriving requires community. This is the essence of American Fantasy - poetic satire of the system we inhabit, with solutions to our societal struggles. The power of the people lies in individuals changing communities: shedding outdated ideals and fighting for basic human rights. In this contradictory country, I ask - what radicalized you?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Steven James Faviano (he/him) is a storyteller and humanitarian with a passion for exploring the human condition. A graduate of Florida State University, he had the opportunity to study human rights violations across Europe and Southeast Asia, experiences that deeply shaped his worldview. Since 2020, he has worked with local political campaigns, grassroots movements, and nonprofit organizations, dedicating his efforts to meaningful change.

As a writer, Steven relentlessly seeks out stories and unique perspectives, continually refining his understanding of the world. Recent years have shown that while humanity takes collective strides forward, we now find ourselves teetering on the edge of catastrophe. Though history offers lessons, we face an onslaught of new horrors that demand discernment and a renewed focus on class consciousness.

He believes that understanding how we arrived at this moment requires a critical reevaluation of the systems that govern us. To truly reclaim our dreams, we need a surge of creativity, empathy, and community-building. This book – like many before it – strives to illuminate this path forward.
