The stories tell us about events that take place 100–150 years from now, in the second half of the 22nd century. The events are taking place in different countries all around the world—not even limited only to the Earth—such as Russia, the U.S., Japan, Germany, Luxembourg… and also on an international space station near the Earth, and on the Moon (natural satellite of the Earth). The characters often recur to parallels with the past, that is with the time we are living in, in the beginning of the 21st century.
The chronological order of writing the stories is:
- ‘Before: The Pill’. About how people in the future tackle physical imperfections.
- ‘Before: Taxi’. About the transport of the future.
- ‘Before: The Red Button’. About the public security system and how a group of teenagers are trying to test its limits.
- ‘Before: Interview’. About the future levels of computing power (and more).
- ‘Before: Elections’. About the future organization of the world.
- ‘Before: The Moon’. The largest story about a travel to the Moon.
- ‘Before: Destiny’. About how future technologies can influence the destiny of a person.
- ‘Before: Travel’. Can’t tell you what it is about (or else it will be too clear…)
- ‘Before: Weather’. About how we influence the ecological balance today and how our descendants will have to deal with its consequences.
- ‘Before: Politics’. Almost a thriller.
I hope you will enjoy the stories!
