Watching the media overload this week, I kept thinking about a book I read. 11/22/63 is a novel by Stephen King about a time traveler who attempts to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which occurred on November 22, 1963 (the novels titular date)... The novel was published in November 8, 2011. That is from Wikipedia. The book is a massive 849 pages and I absolutely loved it. Heres what King speculated when his assassination was prevented (also from Wikipedia): When questioned, Harry outlines the history of the world after November 22, 1963. Kennedy was re-elected, but the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was never passed. Controversial Alabama governor George Wallace became president in 1968 and escalated the Vietnam conflict into a nuclear war that precipitated numerous other atomic conflicts around the globe. The state of Maine seceded from the United States and is now a Canadian province. Massive earthquakes have sunk several Japanese islands, and scientists predict that the earthquakes will escalate in intensity until they eventually tear the world apart circa 2080.
