JESUS AND JESUSA is a utopian novella about the cloning of the foreskin of Jesus of Nazareth to create an identical brother and sister, Jesus and Jesusa. They were born in Italia on May 30, 2014 as Jesus and Jesusa Prescelto to parents Guiseppe and Maria Prescelto who had undergone fertility treatments. While in college, Jesus and Jesusa led a march along the Great Wall of China which culminated in the last stage of the global abolition of the death penalty. Later, they led an international humanist organization, and then became Co-Popes of the Roman Catholic Church. As Co-Popes, they transformed the Church into a humanist organization dedicated to saving humanity and the Earth, and discarded most of the myths about Christianity. Implemented in 2026, the mundo was the Single Global Currency of the world. During their lives, the world underwent a Great Transformation to focus on saving the Earth as a healthy planet for humans and all other species. Global warming began the slow process of reversal to pre-Industrial Revolution conditions. The human population peaked at slightly more than 8.5 billion, before beginning its long decline to an equilibrium number between 1-2 billion. Jesus and Jesusa worked to find common ground among the religions of the world, including atheists and humanists. They supported the campaign against wrongful convictions, including a person convicted of a crime against them. They died on May 30, 2089, their 75th birthday. JESUS AND JESUSA is a companion book to 2121, which is a utopian novel set in the period ending in 2121. It describes the effects on the world of the publication of JESUS AND JESUSA in 2014. They can be read separately or together, with JESUS AND JESUSA recommended to be read first. 2121 is a utopian novel about the conviction of Chad Delano of Portland, Maine in 2117 of negligent chemical manslaughter and his struggle to overcome that erroneous judgment. His sister, Eleanor Perkins, had become an astronaut and traveled to Mars in 2119, with her husband, Max Trenkler, a distant relative of the wrongly convicted Alfred Trenkler. They became the parents of twin girls in 2121, the first humans born on another planet. The book describes the changing 21st world of Chad's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents which underwent a "Great Transformation" after the 2014 publication of the utopian novella, JESUS AND JESUSA, and the 2019 nuclear explosion in Brownsville, Texas. These two events convinced people throughout the world to fix the environment by reducing the carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and by reducing the size of the human population. It also led to a larger level of religious tolerance around the world. In the United States, there was a special campaign to reduce the frequency of wrongful convictions to .1% of criminal convictions. This required several changes to the criminal justice system, including changing the standard of guilt, as the previous estimates of wrongful conviction ranged from .5% to 6%. 2121 is a companion book to JESUS AND JESUSA, which is a utopian novella about the cloning of the foreskin of Jesus of Nazareth to create an identical brother and sister, Jesus and Jesusa. The two books can be read separately or together, with JESUS AND JESUSA recommended to be read first.
