Take 2
From space, a satellite view, take a moment to look at our earth. Littered with mega-cities of neon light, and teeming with androids and humans alike.
Cyberdogs roam the streets looking for nano bites that their masters will reuse and sell for meager profits. The air is filled with the incessant whirring of drones, feeding a constant supply of data to innumerable data centers monitored by countless AI agents. Traffic flows (foot and vehicle), air quality, construction, temperature changes localized to a square millimeter, the data is processed and sold to the highest bidder and used.
These are the common cities, where most of the planet's billions live, but most is not all.
Zoom back out, back into space, and see the world from here. From the shimmering bruises so many call home, we'll move to the wilds. Out here populations shrink to the thousands per town.
This story begins in the wilds of Montana. A home, more of a large cabin really, sits a short ways from a large lake. The sound of its waters caressing the shores can be heard when the wind is still, and the birds are resting. The smell, less briney than the ocean, is more akin to a river. Fresh and carrying the undertones of reeds and grass.
In a modest garden we find a family of three working. The father is turning the soil with a shovel, the mother is on her hands and knees planting, and their daughter helps by passing potatoes to mom or the tools dad asks for.
