Morning 2050
The sun slowly weaves over the panorama of Riga, reflecting against glass domes that cover a large part of the city. Artificial intelligence has already awakened Ilze, adjusted room temperature and prepared a morning drink, an energy cocktail adapted to her needs today.

After 2025, the world changed rapidly. Climate change made people act quickly – cities were adapted to use only renewable energy sources, while cars with internal combustion engines have long become museum exhibits. Society was also undergoing changes: universal basic income and a short-time work week allowed people to focus on creativity, education and science, and not just on survival.

Ilze opens her smart glasses and examines the latest information on her scientific project – she is working on a new type of vertical farming system that could address food insecurity in other regions of the world. She doesn’t need to work in the office – her team of people and artificial intelligence collaborates virtually.

Afternoon - Trip to Mars Station
Ilze spends lunch with his friend Arthur, who returned from the Mars Colony, where he helped build the infrastructure there for the past six months. Interstellar travel is still not available to everyone, but Mars' missions have become a routine. Arthur tells about new ecological modules that allow the colony to be completely self-sufficient.

Evening - calm and tech
During the evening, Ilze takes a walk through green Riga – the city has become a living ecosystem where the walls of buildings are covered with plants, while the streets are adapted for pedestrians and cyclists. There is no pollution in the city air, because the entire industry is carried out in closed, self-cleaning premises or outside the Earth.

Before going to bed, Ilze reviews the events of the day, meditates and allows her artificial assistant to adjust the activities of the next day. The world is much different in 2050 than in 2025 – people have finally solved many global challenges and learned to live in harmony with nature and technology.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.

What I would like to see is a society in which everybody is living together and taking care of each other.It's no longer I but we. We take care of each other, the environment instead of the current life in which I is the most used word. We have taken a big economic downfall to reach it yet life is better, Life is harder yet more joyful. That's what I wish and hope for.
