CHICAGO, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pritzker Military Museum & Library will host an exclusive in-person and live stream Book Talk Event with author, Admiral James Stavridis, retired Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, moderated by Margaret Hoover, PBS television host of Firing Line, to discuss the soon-to-be-released book, 2054.

This sequel to New York Times best seller 2034 blends fiction with well-informed predictions of the potential geopolitical impact of America's violent partisan divide combined with cyber breaches, biotech, and AI singularity, to explore how it could change not just the fate of American democracy, but the entire world order.

Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret) is Vice Chair, Global Affairs of The Carlyle Group and Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation, following five years as the 12th Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. A retired 4-star officer in the U.S. Navy, he led the NATO Alliance in global operations from 2009 to 2013 as Supreme Allied Commander with responsibility for Afghanistan, Libya, the Balkans, Syria, counter piracy, and cyber security. He also served as Commander of U.S. Southern Command, with responsibility for all military operations in Latin America from 2006-2009. He earned more than 50 medals, including 28 from foreign nations in his 37-year military career.

Margaret Hoover is the host of PBS' Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, a public affairs, multi-platform program that engages in long-form interviews and a rigorous exchange of ideas with the guiding principle that civil discourse is a civic responsibility.
