In 2070 AD, it was perhaps at its peak. Homo sapiens had reached a level of sentience that allowed them to flourish. The air was pure and the rivers clear. Food was plentiful.

Or rather certain nations cant take anymore of certain other nations.

I dont blame the those countries for any of it. Nor do i blame the Indians.

His plan is quite simple. "I will make F1 car-less", he said, his eyes glinting in excitement.
