In a time when the American political climate is marked by deep division, distrust, and disillusionment, a quietly released book titled UNUM is making waves — not through celebrity endorsements or media blitzes, but through timeless ideas delivered anonymously. Written by a retired surgeon and first-generation immigrant, the UNUM book sets forth a bold plan to reunite the United States by moving beyond personalities and partisanship.
Rather than appeal to the extremes, UNUM focuses on the working majority — ordinary Americans seeking common ground in a country fractured by ideological warfare.
A Simple Riddle, A Profound Solution
The book’s foundational idea comes in the form of a riddle: “How do you make a line appear shorter without erasing it?” The answer: “Place a longer line beside it.”
This metaphor underpins UNUM’s core philosophy — better ideas don’t destroy, they outshine. The author argues that the current American culture of cancellation and confrontation stems from a loss of our ability to compare ideas logically. Instead of attacking one another, UNUM calls for placing better alternatives side-by-side and letting reason prevail.
A Book for America’s Working Class
UNUM is explicitly dedicated to the working men and women of America, whom the author calls “the fulcrum that holds the scales of justice in balance.” These citizens, often overlooked by political elites and media noise, are central to the nation’s success.
The book acknowledges that ordinary people don’t have time for ideological warfare — they have jobs, families, and responsibilities. What they do have is common sense and a desire to see their country function. UNUM speaks directly to this quiet majority, offering not outrage, but solutions grounded in principle.
Why Anonymity Matters
Published under the name ENIONE (a stylized form of “Anyone”), the author remains anonymous to emphasize ideas over identity. Drawing from ancient Greek traditions where debaters wore hoods to prevent bias, the author explains:
“Today, we need less branding and more thinking. Ideas aren’t red or blue—they’re either workable or not.”
In a media culture obsessed with personalities and affiliations, UNUM’s anonymity is both radical and refreshing. It invites readers to focus solely on the merits of the message, not the messenger.
Bridging Divides with Thought Experiments
One of UNUM’s standout chapters places Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders—often viewed as political opposites—side by side. The author points out their shared appeal to the working class, challenging readers to shift focus from tactics to common goals.
Rather than forcing agreement, UNUM promotes a method:
- Compare ideas
- Contrast outcomes
- Collaborate when possible
This approach reframes political discourse as problem-solving, not tribal warfare.
Policy by Principle, Not Party
UNUM tackles key American policy issues—immigration, healthcare, taxes, abortion, and climate change—without resorting to ideological soundbites. Instead, it offers principle-driven, bipartisan proposals, such as:
- Coalition Governance: Sharing power in closely split elections to reduce division.
- Targeted, Transparent Taxes: Linking tax revenue directly to services like Medicare or infrastructure.
- Voluntary National Debt Contribution: Allowing well-off seniors to help future generations.
- Legal Labor Exchange Programs: Ethical, temporary labor migration through government contracts.
These ideas aren’t radical—they’re practical, fiscally sound, and designed for consensus.
A Global Message with Local Impact
Though written for the U.S., UNUM’s message has global relevance. Translated into Spanish, Arabic, and French, the book is already being used as a civic education text in parts of the Middle East. Division, after all, isn’t uniquely American—polarization is a global crisis, and UNUM’s solution is deeply human and universal.
The book is currently available on Amazon in English and Spanish, with more translations underway.
Why UNUM Matters in 2025
The book’s cover features the twin towers in flames—not as a reference to terrorism, but as a metaphor for internal collapse. Two structures, equal and opposing, burning side by side. It’s a visual warning: ideological isolation is unsustainable.
The author’s hope is modest but profound:
“If this book can help Americans come together around even one issue, if we can solve just one real problem together, then it has served its purpose.”
UNUM doesn’t claim to have all the answers. Instead, it offers a better question: What if we stood side by side, not in opposition, but in comparison toward consensus?
Final Thoughts
UNUM is a bold, anonymous manifesto for an age of division. It offers humility instead of ego, logic instead of rage, and collaboration over confrontation. At a time when America feels more fractured than ever, UNUM reminds us that unity doesn’t require uniformity—just a willingness to listen, compare, and move forward together.
