The future begins after the world has undergone some drastic changes. Environmental impacts such as drought, erosion of the top soil, and temperature changes have caused increased agricultural loses, and made large areas of land unsuitable for farming. This combined with other stresses, including over population, reduced potable water, and the acidification of the oceans leave the world on the brink. As sea levels rise, major geographical changes occur around the world. Wars over land, food, water, and other natural resources become common place. These various factors and the over use of chemicals and other pollutants have begun to degrade the human genome, resulting in the rampant spread of genetic related diseases. It started in the poorest areas of the most undeveloped countries, but eventually spread to every corner of the globe, killing millions before being brought under control many years later.
