Before I get to tell you of our past, let me tell you about today. It is Wednesday, October 29th, 2059 and it is a lot colder than most mornings. The air is thick and hard to traverse through but I manage as I travel across the bridge to the main plaza of our commune. The noble well of water that is shared by everyone is idle for the time being. And of course, the sun is rising so brilliantly that the muted colors of the grass and forest are becoming perfectly saturated. My role in our society is to remind people of these things. Throughout the day, I meet with several souls looking for advice and motivation to continue in these strange circumstances.

To understand what I mean by “strange” circumstances, you must zoom out far and visualize how miraculous it is that one species was able to break the barrier of consciousness and have the ability to make the world better. Sadly, it seems that those who came before us left so large of a mess that the chance was never presented to us. And as our responsibility for the world became less and less necessary due to our addictions to technology, a new sentient race of beings emerged within the vast database of the internet.
