Barry H. Cohen, author of the science fiction trilogy Soul Switchers, asserts that his work predicted the rise of repression in the United States. Cohen began writing the series at the start of the first Trump administration, though the first novel was not published until 2022. He claims to have recognized early warning signs of repression from the very beginning of that period.
Cohen's trilogy explores themes of political control and societal transformation, which he believes mirror real-world developments. The author suggests that his foresight was based on observable trends in governance and civil liberties. The announcement comes as discussions about political polarization and government overreach continue to dominate public discourse.
