The Blue Planet is now red like Mars and hot like Venus.
There is life outside. Well, not life as we once knew it. Only extremophile bacteria have survived.
The few plants that were saved are grown under artificial light.
Water is scarce and extremely valuable. We take only what is necessary from underground aquifers. Each human being is entitled to three glasses of water per day.
I think it is nighttime already. I’m not sure — down here, everything always feels the same.
My name is Jessica. I am sitting at my digital station, connected to the interplanetary networks, when suddenly my computer receives a strange message.
An email?
That can’t be possible.
The date on the email says the year 2021!
Did someone from the past send this email for me to read in the future? Who could it be?
The email contains only one question…
“Hey, you there! What is it like to live in the future?”
