Start Exploring the GeoTribe 2030 Anthology Here
Everything a new reader needs to get started. The chapter list, the "nonlinear" narrative structure, the orientation.
This anthology defies traditional storytelling, weaving past, present, and future into an interconnected tapestry where you can start anywhere—think Cloud Atlas meets regenerative emergence. The Next Copernican rEvolution (Book One) explored humanity’s past, tracing the roots of our current system. The Next Copernican rEvolution: Coming From the Future (Book Two) envisioned future possibilities beyond capitalism and Molochian dynamics. Now, Parable of the Rosebush: rEvolution Z (Book Three) focuses on the critical transition from today to the Geotribal Age by 2030. Prior knowledge isn’t required—each book stands alone while contributing to a larger vision. Blending creative nonfiction, speculative fiction analysis, and real-world transformation, this series sparks a shift in consciousness toward a world of abundance, cooperation, and aligned incentives. More than just a book, it’s an invitation to rethink, explore, and co-create a sustainable future. Are you ready to break free from linear narratives and step into the rEvolution?

Book Three:
Parable of the Rosebush: rEvolution Z
(2024…)
Like Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, this book begins in the present day (2024) and follows the transformation of humanity toward a radically different future by 2030 and beyond. Told as a collective hero’s journey, it follows Trim, a hyperlistener awakening to the crumbling system around her, as she discovers the seeds of an alternative—one rooted in regenerative principles, post-monetary collaboration, and a new understanding of human potential. This is not a dystopian tale but a Syntropian vision, a story of how humanity can transcend collapse and co-create a new reality.

Book Two:
The Next Copernican rEvolution - Coming From the Future
(2016/posted 2024)
Rather than following a linear path from past to present to future, Book Two adopts a backcasting approach—starting with a vision of a better world and working backward to identify how to get there. To guide this exploration, we analyze three prescient social sci-fi works that dared to envision alternative futures:
• Looking Backward, 2000-1887 – Edward Bellamy (1888)
• Looking Backward from the Year 2000 – Mack Reynolds (1974)
• Voyage from Yesteryear – James P. Hogan (1982)
These books offer bold alternatives to capitalism and scarcity-based systems, challenging our assumptions about economics, governance, and human potential. By extracting their most transformative ideas, we aim to reframe the future—not as a projection of the past, but as a space of radical possibility.

(2016)
Read below for free or purchase a hard copy or Kindle version on Amazon.
History’s greatest shifts have come from questioning what we once believed to be absolute. The Next Copernican rEvolution challenges our deepest assumptions—about money, economics, and human progress—revealing how we are on the verge of a radical paradigm shift. Troy Wiley weaves together historical patterns, economic analysis, and fictional Socratic dialogue to show how our outdated systems are collapsing, not as a catastrophe, but as an opportunity to transcend the monetary paradigm itself. By letting go of scarcity-driven systems, we can finally embrace a post-monetary future of true cooperation and abundance—a Copernican leap in our understanding of what civilization can be.
