Synopsis: ● "It was the Apocalypse. By 2072, the civilizations of earth, great and small, rich and poor, had ceased to exist–replaced by small feudal landholdings ruled by vicious leaders who were little more than warlords. This state of affairs had been caused by the perfect storm; a result of the unholy alliance between religious fundamentalists and political extremists, which had led to a decline in academic research and scientific enquiry. A veil of ignorance, fueled by self-righteousness and greed, descended over humanity." ― paraphrased from this book's product page on Amazon.com as of 2022-09-09.
