Chapter 1

What if you went back to the past (somewhere around 2030) and asked people how they envision the future today? Now, let me guess! "We'll have flying vehicles" or "Robots will serve us breakfast in our beds" would pour down like rain. It's normal for futuristic concepts like these to ignite the popular imagination. Returning to 2053, the confirmation that our planet is not the same as before may sound funny in any era. Was it not obvious that China would lead us towards a socialist-based economy? The success of its governmental measures turned it into a global leader. It handles everything. From the toothbrushes to the slippers we wear in the morning in the bathroom. We must congratulate its collective sense. None of this conceals the trail of misery around the globe. Not all individuals enjoy the benefits of using the available technological devices.

As the years advanced, the socialist model established the currency of exchange. Although private companies are still popular, they face rigorous state supervision. In the majority of cases, the division of profits is common. This approach earned the nickname "prosperous sharing." A share of the profit belongs to the government, which controls the global real estate market. It is clear that individual ownership justifies economic development. There would be no future without entrepreneurial innovation. New ideas belong to those who can afford them. That is to say, to the inhabitants of Aurora, a massive space station comparable in size to Venezuela. No one like them is unfamiliar with the feeling of not needing to catch the 6 a.m. Smart Bus. Also, during the night, they delight in state-of-the-art androids. How outdated some artificial intelligence systems are is unknown to them. They will never know what it's like to lose a limb in an accident with them. It matters little to the citizens of the country of the future! As long as they can wrap their bionic arms around their automatons.

In a constant state of apprehension in the face of changes, Brazil evolved into a mixed economy. Before the mid-21st century, the nation faced many political and social challenges. The balance among technology, freedoms, and the ecosystem has failed. Additionally, there are different strata within the country's society. Some inhabit luxury apartments with private guards; others share rundown slums. Every day, Brazil receives space debris from international agencies. These forces treat its space as a cosmic dumping ground. As a result, the land faces significant security and environmental obstacles. There is potential exposure and accidents for the people. But, for the most daring, there are also opportunities for reuse and the informal economy.

Globalization has reached its peak, and distances are a thing of the past. In a way, it makes you feel involved in something bigger. By the way, the top leaders from six major regions formed a special team. This is how they call the global celebration, as if they were Olympic athletes. Those who think that socialism determines all the rules of the situation may be mistaken. As an illustration, America still holds the top exporter of technology. Unyielding, Uncle Sam's country, adorned with its striped top hat, remains capitalist. Carlos Silva leads Brazil through the Indifferent Party, preventing major conflicts between countries. Many people see him as an icon of Brazil.
