An influx of natural and man-made disasters in the early 21st century sent the country into chaos. Nearly unanimous in their panic, the United States relinquished their Constitutional rights and fell gratefully under martial law... a set of temporary security measures that never lifted. Now, a century or more in the future, the Bill of Rights lies forgotten, and everyone is said to be exactly the same, no matter who you are or where you work--which is about the only important thing, because race has been all but forgotten due to pre-birth injections to mute pigment in your skin, and there's no such thing as a religion, except in outdated history books, which are even more outdated... when you think of the fact that there hasn't been a real, new, ink-and-paper book published in over sixty years.
Can you picture it? Can you see it? Good, that's important. Because these stories are to be a teacher, and a warning.
The future brings more trouble than you know.
