The world around us (Draft 1)

Food: With soil degraded and outdoor farming impossible, agriculture has moved indoors. Diets consist mainly of bio-engineered crops, lab-grown proteins, and nutrient bars, with flavorless, pre-portioned meals providing only essential nutrients. Local markets are gone, and food distribution is strictly controlled to prevent shortages, as usable farmland no longer exists.

Water: Clean water is strictly rationed and dispensed from government kiosks via digital credits. Taps are obsolete; instead, homes have automated dispensers that release small, measured amounts based on individual water allowances

Housing: Housing might shift towards "stacked neighborhoods" where entire communities live in interconnected, multi-story pods suspended above the ground.

Education: Most learning takes place through online platforms, with students using personal devices lessons, discussions, and assignments. Physical classrooms still exist but are smaller and less frequent, focusing more on hands-on projects.

Social Equity: Social equity remains a challenge, with severe inequality due to resource distribution. Wealthier groups control access to essentials like clean water, healthcare, and quality housing, while marginalized communities face resource scarcity and greater exposure to environmental hazards.

Gender Equality: Gender equality has made progress in legal frameworks, but economic disparity hinders true equality. Remote work has enabled more flexibility, reducing traditional gender role constraints.

Work & Income: The concept of work from anywhere has transformed, but for the low-income workforce, it has taken a unique turn. While wealthier workers enjoy immersive VR offices and virtual collaborations, low-income workers often find themselves in microtask hubs, local centers where they perform quick, digital tasks for companies worldwide.

Energy / Electricity: Energy relies mostly on solar, wind, and nuclear fusion. Personal energy consumption is rationed, and cities operate on “smart grids” that regulate and allocate electricity. Renewable energy is widely accessible, but the high cost of advanced systems puts poorer areas at risk of frequent blackouts.

⁠Peace & Justice: International conflict has decreased due to mutual climate threats, but social unrest within nations is common, driven by resource scarcity and inequality. Police forces are replaced with AI surveillance in wealthier areas, while under-resourced communities experience higher rates of violence due to desperation and limited law enforcement.

Political Voice: Digital Democracy Pods would be virtual spaces where people engage in debates, voting, and decision-making, using AI to personalize political discussions and simulate outcomes. These pods would allow global participation, but the control of these platforms by tech giants or governments might limit true democratic influence, creating a paradox of more engagement but less real power.

Transportation: Transportation has become super efficient and eco-friendly, with personal cars being rare and mostly owned by wealthy people. Most people rely on public transport like fast underground trains, self-driving buses, and electric cable cars to get around the city. Short trips are handled by small, shared self-driving pods that adjust routes based on where people need to go.

Air Pollution: Air pollution is critical, with most people wearing personal air filters and indoor spaces having filtration systems. Wealthier regions are shielded with clean zones that filter air around residential areas, while low-income communities suffer severe pollution exposure and related health effects.

⁠Noise Pollution: Noise-canceling technology evolved into something truly unique sound manipulation. Instead of just silencing noise, cities use advanced sound waves to reprogram sound itself, turning unwanted noise into a neutral or even soothing sound.

Non-Human life: There will be sustainable, living architecture made from bio-engineered organisms like fungi or algae that grow and adapt to environmental conditions. These "living buildings" could generate their own energy, absorb CO2, and even filter water, providing an organic alternative to traditional construction. The structures might shift shape with weather patterns or grow over time, making cities more interconnected with nature and reducing the ecological footprint of urban development. Chemical pollution: Chemical pollution will likely be a severe global problem, with widespread contamination of air, water, and soil. Many ecosystems will be permanently damaged by toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial waste. While technologies may exist to monitor and address pollution, large-scale cleanup will be slow and costly. ⁠Water bodies & Supply: Freshwater bodies are contaminated and scarce, with desalination and recycling as primary water sources. Lakes and rivers have become unusable in many areas. Waste management: Waste management relies heavily on recycling with landfill space nearly depleted. Urban places have waste to energy plants that generate electricity, and zero-waste buildings could be the norm, where everything is designed for reuse. Land use & Streets & Public Spaces: Public spaces are limited to indoor environments, where artificial greenery is used to simulate outdoor areas. Parks are replaced with indoor “green bubbles” for filtered air and limited nature exposure. Ocean pollution: Oceans are heavily polluted, and most marine life has declined or vanished. Scientists have discovered a fascinating phenomenon: some species of algae have adapted to thrive in polluted ocean environments, creating glowing "bioluminescent reefs" in areas once devastated by pollution. These glowing algae have become a new form of marine life. Effects of climate change: Climate change has led to extreme weather events, frequent flooding, and coastal erosion. Temperatures have risen significantly, making outdoor activities dangerous in many regions. Wealthy communities have climate-controlled environments, while lower-income groups are vulnerable to extreme conditions Urban Agriculture & Greenification: Urban agriculture and greenification have evolved into a vital part of city life. Cities are filled with vertical farms, rooftop gardens, and hydroponic systems, growing everything from leafy greens to protein-rich algae. Gender & Sexuality, Diversity & Inclusion: People are more open to diverse identities, but personal freedoms are impacted by environmental constraints. While cultural acceptance of gender and sexuality diversity has advanced, social divides between pollution-protected and high-risk zones exacerbate inequality. True inclusivity remains limited to affluent societies, where diversity is welcomed within protective enclaves. Accessibility and Sustainability: Accessibility has improved in technology-rich zones, where sustainability is prioritized to an extreme due to the need to reduce waste. However, access to these advancements is limited to wealthier populations. Sustainable solutions are a costly privilege, with poorer areas bearing the brunt of pollution from outdated infrastructure. Sustainability has become a matter of survival rather than a shared social value.
