Hi Mr. M.,
I re-read Flash over the weekend. I had no issues figuring out the contemporary city names from the elided names in the novel, with one exception. Is Bozem an analog of a contemporary city, or is it just a place name unique to the book?

Re: City Names in _Flash_
Bozem is the future name of Bozeman, Montana.

Deseret was the original name of the Utah territory. Congress prohibited its use as as state name as one of the conditions for statehood.

Thanks for the info. Just out of curiosity, I looked for more information on Wikipedia.lmodesitt wrote:Deseret was the original name of the Utah territory. Congress prohibited its use as as state name as one of the conditions for statehood.
Deseret had their own alphabet? Really?
