Jess, Jeremy, and Amanda grew up under the Ice-Scape Dome.  The Dome housed a complete, climate-controlled ecosystem for scientific study.  It was an ecological and a social experiment: the brainchild of Dr. Emily Rose.  She posited that future successful space exploration would require both self-contained ecosystems and self-sustaining social structures.  Isolated under the Dome, residents experienced no competition for resources, no social caste structure, and no economic conflict.  

Jess, Amanda, and Jeremy have lived in the social utopia of the Ice-Scape Dome since infancy. As they approach their sixteenth birthdays, though, the experiment concludes, and they are sent to school in New York City where they must face the realities of life as an American teenager.  It remains to be seen how well their utopian upbringing prepared them for life in an American high school.

The Chronicles of the Milky Way Galaxy : Gaia

46 parts Ongoing

A meteorite slams into the earth causing a global catastrophe, the particles on the atmosphere block out the sun for years, slowly cooling the planet leading to a world-wide ice age. Humans find refuge in dome cities, pre-build when the meteorite was detected, which are meant to last under the snow for thousands of years. In the process, technology brings forth the age of immortality and unprecedented automation. The result is a decaying society blind to any cause and drugged to survive the endless parade of years. An idea sparks in the mind of Alex. An idea already rooted in the minds of humans since their early appearance on Earth. Migrate. Within a few years, a team had been formed and a budget had been granted for project Gaia to initiate. The spacecraft "Hera" is built in space, ready to take a few settlers to Solis. A solar system which seems to be ideal for harboring life. Many planets within the goldilocks zone and an abundance of oxygen. Is Alex the hero who will rebuild humanity in a new world or someone who abandoned Earth when it most needed its healthiest minds?
