The year is 3034. Humanity has conquered it all. The seas. The skies. The solar system. They believe they can even rule over time all together. Man wishes to rise higher and higher until there is no ceiling blocking their way.
With this, however, great sacrifices follows. The USA has appointed itself as a complete union. Cities overrun the entire continent. Barely any country or wildlife is left. The animal and rare plants now reside within zoo enclosures and universities for further study.
Along with the natural world, spirituality eroded away as well. No more will each race quarrel over opposing religious beliefs. After all, if there are no religions to stand for or against, a reason to battle no longer exists.
Religion now seeks refuge in old dusty books hidden in run down museums and libraries. Locked away forever. Never to be glanced at by the modern eye again. Why read about something that has never been proven to be right or wrong? There are no reasons to look back anymore.
