New segment published every day through the end of 2020.

Graduate students Eva and Eric have been frustrated by the lack of concern the world seems to show towards the changing climate. As the environment approaches a tipping point, they gather a team of like-minded individuals committed to a livable tomorrow-by any means. Their group pushes society to change through actions that call attention to problem points. They sabotage the gasoline distribution system, create a propaganda campaign turning the public against wasteful actors, destroy dams causing ecological problems, simulate the danger of nuclear plants, and demonstrate the instability of our food network. The leaders pen a manifesto to incite change and inspire acceptance of the sacrifices needed to survive what is coming: coordinated attacks that may destroy global industrial infrastructure. This is not just the introduction to an alternative dystopian timeline-all the facts are all true, with citations to prove it. The narrative both rationalizes and humanizes so-called extreme environmental arguments to encourage readers to reevaluate their previous convictions.All Rights Reserved

Galactic Taboo by spleenobsession

In an eerily inverted world, humanity reels under the shadow of sinister extraterrestrial forces. The new reality is stark and bewildering, marked by a chasm between what is and what is portrayed. Powerless governments resort to deception, propagating the illusion of normalcy while death and mysterious ailments ravage the populace. In this regime, even acknowledging the existence of extraterrestrials is heresy, a paranoid fantasy dismissed and suppressed. Embark on an immersive journey into this dystopian realm, seen through the eyes of a brave few, the resolute resistance. These individuals defy the imposed silence, voicing the forbidden, risking all to shatter the façade of lies. Facing internment and stigma, they stand against not only the alien menace but also an oppressive regime, determined to uphold its illusory peace at any cost. This is a tale of rebellion, intrigue, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Witness humanity's resilience as it confronts the greatest challenge in its history. The question lingers: Can it overcome its own denial? The race against time is on. This gripping novel promises to hold you captive until its final page. In a world where truth is the ultimate transgression, brace yourself for a literary odyssey that will linger long after the journey concludes.

People desperate to get even something that wasn't canned around there. Now the real danger has begun. One powerful snowstorm, unlike any storm you'd see in society. When touched by the snow, you get burned. If you inhale the wind, you will become ill with a deadly virus. To make matters worse, the electricity has completely gone out.

However, there are unexpected dangers such as people or even actions that may change everything.

A World's Bounty by MyMintyWinters

The time has finally arrived, where the earth has reached its limit. Food, water, and land, all luxuries we've taken for granted, have been slowly looming down on us as a possible issue of the future. But that was just it. An issue of the future. So we ran and ran until we were backed right into a corner. The future has now become the present, and we can no longer run. So how does humanity respond, when it's very existence is threatened? Does it respond with words? With ideas and theories? But what if that doesn't work? Does it respond by blade? How will humanity take on its biggest enemy yet... itself.

O2 by sarakbeeksma

The Earth is dying, yet humanity survives. Pollution and radiation run rampant on the surface. The government rations food and clean air for everyone. The glass domes provide some sense of security, but they are only for the rich who can afford the astronomical price of providing precious clean air to a whole city. Nym and her family live outside the dome when the disease breaks out. Spreading through the Minor City Shelter and then to Shelter's around other cities, nothing seems capable of stopping it. People are going mad and dying off like flies. There's no cure they can find. They only know one thing. Their last precious resource is going to be the death of them.

They Call Me Daring by GreenPastels

Let's get one thing straight here, I'm not a hero (I totally am, but I hear that these days being modest is in fashion or something, so I don't know man). I never planned on being a hero. It kind of just happened. Clark's the bigshot. The fame, the girls, the attention. Me? I'm just his loser younger brother. Another rich Trackerson kid, but that quiet one with no personality. I'm kidding. I'm funny. I promise. I have to be. The name's Liam. The apocalypse wasn't easy on anyone, but it was harder on some. We made it okay. My family lives in a mansion, and we basically run this town. I come from a line of famous zombie-hunters. Not me, though. I kind of suck. I was never supposed to get bitten. I'm running out of time. I'm turning, and it's happening fast. People are rising up, feuds are breaking out, the world is ending all over again; and it's all up to me to stop it. Or something. Crazy, right? Anyway, I've got to go. I guess the good part is, if they find out my secret-if they kill me-at least not many people are going to miss me. I just hope they get my name right. L-I-A-M. It's not hard. Please, for the love of humanity, remember my name. Whatever they call me after all this, remember my name.

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

Dystopia Rising by GravityWillFall01

The world ended long ago, riddled with plague and zombies and destruction. But humanity survived, and humanity evolved. The Infection that helped bring the world to its knees also changed humans in ways to help them keep living in this now broken world ready to be rebuilt. Seven lineages with three strains each, and each have their own unique set of traits that help us survive. But that's not what this story is about-at least, not really. This story isn't about how a hero will rise and bring the world back to what it was Pre-Fall. This story is about me, an ordinary Remanat living life through the world day to day as a mercenary. A beginner mercenary as everyone likes to remind me. The others in my group have been calling me 'Rookie' since I joined them three months ago. I'm beginning to wonder if they actually know my name. We have been hired to help the New Reach Caravan travel across the wastelands to Philly Del Phia, and this is the perfect opportunity to show them that I'm not just a dumb Rookie. I'm actually quite good at my job. I just happen to get distracted by one certain Eight-Ball, but it's not my fault he's good-looking, and charming, and funny... Anyway, all I have to do is help my group get the caravan to Del Phia. Should be an easy enough job. Just avoid the zoms and keep clear of the Raiders, and we should be fine... Right? Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! or its characters, nor do I own Dystopia Rising LARP. This is just my Rookie's reaction to the Dystopia Rising New Adventure in the Zombies, Run! App.

Yabbies - a novel by tomgraves

"Yabbies. Funny little things, all in their own world at the bottom of the dam. A bit like us, ain't they? Can't see a thing for all the mud in the water; bits and pieces drift down, in any old order, all out of sequence, an' we have to make sense of them as best we can." This unusual novel explores ideas about sustainability from a different angle: that we can't achieve a sustainable world without a system of law that supports it. For that to happen, we would need a revolutionary change in the way we see our world: a refocus of passion from possession to purpose. In some ways, as one character explains, we may not have much choice: "The whole system is so fragile that there's a real risk it could collapse at any time, in a really big way. Those problems are inherent in the system: the whole thing is held together by little more than wishful thinking." But what if only some countries made that change, and others didn't? What would happen to trade, to international relations, to everyday living? How would they deal with business-visitors, or tourists? We see these themes through story-fragments, each piece drifting down through the waters of time, each character describing their own worlds and experiences in their own unique voice. And perhaps a little magic, too.
