The year is 2060, 30 years after the second pandemic. Society as we know it does not exist anymore. 95% of people over 50 are dead. Only the executives and their offspring are allowed to age. People over 50 and above are erased. The virus, it was discovered, was made by the government to control the population.
The general government is doing everything in its power to help and maintain peace. Rebellions are frequent - people who still know how to use analogue technology such as radios or handwriting are a threat to everyone and should be arrested and sent to reform camps. The government eventually formed one body - the United Citizens of Earth. And countries that did not agree with their agenda were destroyed and turned to wastelands and sites for industrial waste disposal. The capital city of United Earth is New York City which is now called the Andes.
Humans were eventually embedded with chips. Governments try to protect the world from the havoc of man by regulating everything, even childbearing. Humans are stopped from having more than two children.
Everything is lost, humans are bleached of creativity, and life as we know it is forgotten. But there is hope.
