2050. Sunrise over Rome's Old Town paints the sky a soft orange colour. The city wakes quietly, but already the whisper of electric vehicles and the light gust of wind carrying the salt of the Mediterranean can be heard.

Europe has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. The climate crisis has forced countries to focus on renewable energy, and cities have become greener, with polluting cars virtually disappearing from the streets, replaced by autonomous electric cars and bicycles. Food production has also changed: vertical farms have solved product shortages and lab-grown meat has become a common choice.

Today, my plans include a quick trip to Paris on the hyper-trains that now connect all Europe's major cities. The journey will take just an hour - time for a cup of coffee and a short chat with friends via hologram. Life has become more convenient, but have people become happier? That's what we're still looking for.

For me, there will be no more wars. People will have had enough of suffering, of working long and hard so that certain people who do nothing and squat in the country can benefit. People will have voted extreme right for several years, Europe will still be present, trade with the USA and China will still be tense, but we'll be able to get by as a united country.

I would like to see from up there a world with no distinctions, no more wars no more colors, no more politics, no more media, no more capitalists, no more murderers, a world where nature and man form one,where man lives happily with other beings, with the animal world, with nature, a world where suffering and sickness no longer exist because man has finally found peace and lives on love, a world that feeds on the goods of the earth, a more spiritual world where everyone ..when he feels that he has finished his cycle, can extinguish himself as and where he wishes, but for this dream we will have to wait until whole generations of ruling families become extinct, it will take a long time and a destruction of part of the earth, the rest will certainly flourish again.

Euope first
Hello, It's February 26, 2040, and Europe has finally unified. We are 32 independent states, but with a strong European government that can decide on certain global, environmental or conflictual issues. The United States of America has regressed economically, and is now only the 6th world power.Since the election in 2024 of Donald TRUMP (who ran his country like a business) and then the election of Elon MUSK (who thought that cars could all become airplanes, and who advocated the return of dictatorship), they have become a shadow of their former selves.With China, we have brought peace to African countries, and launched economic and agricultural programs to reduce poverty and excessive migration.
