JANUARY 1, 10005 (Short Story) - 8/26/2020 9:18:44 AM
Not so much a fantasy, but a reality if things do not change. But the stories of how we stopped the plague, DDT, smallpox, numerous practices like smoking that were dangerous to our health, the necessity of conquering space and colonialism/slavery for economic health, etc., make most scientists predicting that the future world will be filled with more wilderness and that population will be reduced naturally in huge cities that are completely self-sustaining.
But a major shift in thinking and attitudes need to be done. This generally comes from the younger generation, guided by leaders who see the possibility of change, from their research and study. Your story is a looking back through a book found in a library that no longer exists in 10,005. It is highly likely we will overcome that scenario, Venus/Earth sisterhood. We are smart enough and capable enough. We just have to have the resolve.
There are some errors in the writing, both English and scientifically, but it is a nice warning add to the many like that famous book, Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson.
