transgenic and synthetic, dominated by geoengineering, and climate
manipulation.
2. A world where the rights and economic interests of commerce and
consumerism prevail above the rights of human beings and living creatures. A
world where the balance between human beings and nature have been
violated and broken permanently. A world where impunity and environmental
injustice will reign.
Regarding the social realm
3. A world of individualistic beings dettached of their own communities and
families, lonely beings immersed in hallucinogenic images of virtual reality,
disconnected from people and love, obsessed with competition, consumption
and the market. A world full of climate refugees and migrants who, together
with refugees of war and famine will wander seeking refuge across
continents. The rich will live in ghettos, separated and isolated voluntarily in
order to prevent from polluting themselves with the poverty of their
surroundings. Meanwhile, the favelas and slums of the world will be the
shelters of survivors, where people's lives will simply be disposable products
and will be worth less than chips and none reusable computers
The young will turn into avid consumers competing amongst each other,
without the bonds of communal life, the hopes and dreams of youths will be
devoured by video games. A world where basic services will be seen as
commodities and not as tools to save, protect and enhance life. A world
where health and education will be expensive and inaccessible goods, where
those who cannot afford them are doomed to die on waiting lists of indigents,
queuing to receive medication.
Regarding the economic realm
4. A world where large companies, multinationals and large financial
conglomerates dominate governments and the economies of the peoples.
Technology will replace workers and there will be fewer jobs, more
contraband, less social security and fewer rights for people. A world, where
the digital money is the norm, where hopes and dreams are bought on the
stock exchange and thousands and millions of digital business transactions
are more important than human life. A world where bankers and financial
speculators create debt for the peoples, bribe governments, profit from usury
