I live happily on the shore. At the end of winter, I can put my small sailboat back in the water to go back fishing and enhance our food. All winter we ate what we sown and harvested. We live comfortably in a self-contained house (roof panel, water recovery). The entire global power grid has been shut down since the various wars. Everyone must manage alone or in community. The more no industry, the more nothing works; everything has to be done again, we find ourselves at the same level as our grandparents in their time. The world has been destroyed by wars, artificial intelligence. The positive aspect is the return of nature and nature, the work of its hands, safety and community life.

Beneath the Glass Skies
By 2040, Earth was unrecognizable. The scars of climate change had etched themselves across every continent. Rising seas had swallowed parts of coastal cities, while droughts and wildfires claimed once fertile lands. The Earth, though still beautiful, now bore an eerie, fractured majesty—an intricate mix of human resilience and nature's unrelenting wrath. In New London, a sprawling megacity built atop the ruins of old London, a young woman named Lena tightened her augmented reality glasses and stepped outside. Above her, glass domes shimmered, shielding the city from the temperamental weather outside—acid rain, superstorms, and the occasional suffocating heatwave. These domes, known as Climate Bubbles, had become humanity's final defense against an environment it could no longer control. Lena paused at the edge of the dome’s district barrier, watching workers in exoskeleton suits reinforce its joints. Beyond the translucent wall lay the Blightlands, a wasteland of dead soil, skeletal trees, and the ruins of smaller towns long abandoned. The land was barren, save for the scavenger drones zipping around to recover rare metals from old tech and the occasional crew of climate engineers planting carbon-absorbing bio-machines disguised as moss. Life inside the domes was far from perfect. The air was clean, water was drinkable, and food was plentiful, though most of it came from vertical farms that spiraled skyward in shades of green and silver. But the economy was tightly controlled, dominated by mega-corporations that had stepped in to do what governments couldn't during the late 2020s. The tech giant Solaris ran everything from energy grids to public AI, its CEO seen as a messiah to some and a tyrant to others.

School of Entertainment: Maybe we could have schools that were more than just places to learn. Imagine learning through experiences, games, and projects that truly entertain you. Maybe you'd learn how to program robots, design green houses, or explore the universe. The Green Planet: The world could be much greener. Imagine cities full of parks, plant-covered buildings, and traffic that doesn't pollute the air. Maybe we could have our own vegetable gardens on the roofs and make our own energy from the sun. * Connected people: People could be more connected and tolerant of each other, no matter where they come from or how they look. Maybe we could have more opportunities to get to know people from different cultures and work together on common projects. Technology for good: Technology could serve us even more than it does today. Imagine having smart devices to help us with homework, take care of our pets, or give us information about everything we care about. Now imagine it's 2040. What future would you want? Choose something you are interested in and want to change. It can be anything from protecting animals to fighting poverty. Describe your idea in as much detail as possible. What would your day look like in 2040? What would you do? Who would you meet? What problems would have already been solved?

I imagine people in charge of the environment, not consumers, who know how to live as long as it is necessary and enough, somehow a return to origins. People maybe without vices, people who respect the land. What will it be? Most likely two extremes, one technologized, the other green
