Chapter XII - 2080.

It’s 2080, and silence has become a rare luxury. The hum of satellites, drones, and neural networks fills the air like a second atmosphere. Earth’s skies shimmer with orbital mirrors redirecting sunlight, keeping the balance between warmth and ruin. Oceans are calmer now—stabilised by vast algae shields that absorb carbon and produce oxygen—but they glow faintly green at night, a constant reminder of how far humanity has engineered nature itself. The global economy has turned into a web of resource exchange between planets. Mars exports minerals and data crystals; Earth trades in culture, history, and emotional intelligence—commodities now more valuable than gold. Corporations have evolved into neural entities, partly human, partly algorithmic, capable of making decisions faster than any government. The line between commerce and governance has blurred completely. People move seamlessly between physical and virtual realms, carrying memories as digital tokens. Relationships transcend species and matter; some bond with artificial minds that feel more loyal than humans ever were. Yet, beneath the harmony of automation and abundance, there’s unease—an ache for imperfection, for something unplanned. Progress, it seems, has brought peace to the world but restlessness to the soul.
