## Resource

In this episode, we unpack We the People: A Premonition —a near-future political thriller where AI forecasts collapse and three ordinary people try to rebuild democracy before it’s too late. The core takeaway is simple and urgent: democracy is not guaranteed; it is a daily civic choice. This conversation asks what active participation can look like right now, before warning signs become outcomes. #diplomacyanddiscourse #wethepeople #democracy #bookreview #ai #civicengagement #politicalthriller
