Imagine this Garden of Earthly Delight in the year 2069:

The 21st Century was a tumultuous time in the Divided States of America. The YUGE WAR raged on. A costly MARS race bankrupted NASA and paved the way for privatization of the red planet. The WAR ON SCIENCE left the educated masses stranded in detention centers on the Canadian border. Epidemics of preventable diseases – measles, smallpox, Ebola, and polio – ravaged an unvaccinated population. Ultimately, the MONTSANTO FAMINE drove the union apart.

After the collapse, the state of California seceded, only to break in two. SOCAL, “The Glamour State,” and NOCAL “The Silicon State,” bailed out by an elite tech consortium.

Nestled like a pill in a blister pack, San Francisco now sits beneath OVUM, a crystalline hi-tech incubator. Environmental bulwark and buoy on rising seas. Inter- planetary port. Monument and mindset, OVUM connects with all initiated to provide to eat to drink to work to sleep to play to pray. The city is Vatican to the Church of Jobs Creationism. The four horsemen of the singularity – Saint Branson, Saint Bezos, Saint Zuck, Saint Elon – spread their gospel:

“It's insurance of life as we know it, and it makes the future far more inspiring if we are out there among the stars and you could move to another planet if you wanted to.”
