My Chemical Romance
Life in 1756 S.Ę. is slow but interesting. The same sounds are heard almost everyday in the city of Steambridge. Horses' metal shoes on cobblestone streets and the hinges, cogs, and wires rubbing and clanking inside of the mechanical carriages pulled by the horses. The sound of engineers building huge machines with tools, the voices of other citizens and The Time Train coming and going from the station every few weeks. The train was built by Tom 'Tick Tock' Steam and travels through time and to different dimensions. Helena Steam is the great, great, great granddaughter of Tick Tock Steam. Even though her family 'owns' the city, she has the attention span of a white crayon. Her only friends are Grace Killjoy, a girl from the future who talks about Better Living Industries (BLI) and how Killjoys fight for rights and Chester'Chess'Cat, from the Wonderland dimension. But when Gerard Way takes a trip on The Time Train it changes Helena and his life forever...

A steamship, from New York City took 115 days to reach to San Francisco in 1848. In 1851, all telegraph stations in the USA were connected and by 1940 there were 40 telegraph lines across the Atlantic.

WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).
