It's the year 2070, where American society has long pushed past the age of labor. The people of the USA live their days enslaved to technology and hedonism, stuck in an innocently catastrophic epidemic of consumerism. 
The Grid lies in the United States National Power Plant in Los Angeles, where all of the power in America functions. Only five federal electricians in the country, including a man named Yuri Ilyanov, have access to The Grid. 
So what happens when The Grid is destroyed and technology is gone?All Rights Reserved

Monotone | ✔️ by asphyxiaxx

"If we were so riveted in the spectrum of nature, why did we stand, petrified, as we became corrupted by idle technology, stupefied by glowing screens, stolen from life as we know it from enemies right under our noses? Why did we relent to this obvious threat when we did have the capability to change, and prevent our peaceful hierarchy from being razed? It was the consequence of this stupidity that condemned us all to slaves, servants of a towering race of robots and data." The year 2096. Robots rule the world. Their grip seemed impenetrable, the extent of their control unknown by the humans. Society is blinded by the splendour and wealth of all the technology. "We live in mere fear, unable to access any computerised knowledge for fear of being discovered. We're convicted to the old ways of living, our specialists abilities unable to be used. It puts a very ironic twist on the definition of being free." COMPLETED --

Darkness of Ours (RusAme) by Amaura1406

The year is two- thousand, twenty-seven. The USA has collapsed. America is dead. The Cabinet of States has arisen from its ashes. Their very own Countryhuman, Cabi, in charge. Unbeknownst to the new government, a plot has been brewing in the shadows. A plot that is determined to wipe them off the face of the earth. It is something so dangerous, so ludicrous, that only a madman would consider going through with it. But that was exactly what he was; a madman. Russia, driven to grief over America's loss, makes a plan to bring him back. However, Cabi has her own plan that she is willing to enact. One that could rid the competition. One that could secure her place as leader. One that she is so ambitious, so desperate to uphold, that it may drive the world to its breaking point. Violence is coming. Terror is culminating. But hope is reviving. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• Welcome to Darkness of Ours. This is a continuation from a previous book called Light of Mine. I highly recommend that you read Light of Mine before starting this, but if you find that too long, too cringy, or too much of something else, there is an informational chapter at the beginning of this book. Read that. Have a great day/night/morning/evening/noon/midnight/any time! -Amaura •-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• Started: 6-10-21 (June 10th) Ended: 9-19-21 (September 19th) -------------

What has to happen in order for humanity to continue? Earth's time may be ticking away, but humanity only has ten days to solve the problems, or humanity will cease to exist. Can anyone help? Can you help?
