Is this book science fiction, prophecy, or a real practical plan for a wonderful new future? Whatever it is it's a profound and revolutionary new vision of an ideal Earth, and how it might actually be achieved. The Smart Planet reveals a detailed plan for an entirely new government and economy to save civilization and the planet from impending destruction. A single global meritocracy staffed by the wisest among us produced by a free universal educational system specifically designed to produce the most ethical and effective problem solvers possible.

Everyone on the planet should read this book and work together to give the Earth the single sane intelligent mind it so desperately needs. Otherwise only disaster awaits...
