PRELUDE : IT IS THE YEAR 2010 AND YOU ARE LIVING IIN EXCEPTIONAL TIMES. SCIENTISTS TELL US WE HAVE 10 YEARS TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT WE LIVE. WE HAVE TO AVERT THE DEPLETION OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND TEH CATASTROPHIC EVOLUTION OF THE EARTHS CLIMBATE. THE GOVERNMENTS ARGUE BUT NO ONE ACTS, THE BALANCE IS BROKEN FOREVER.
IT IS NOW 2070 AND ITS TOO LATE TO CHANGE WHAT HAS BEEN SET IN MOTION. WE HAVE TO ADAPT TO EVOLVE, OR IT WILL MEAN THE END OF US ALL. VARIATION IS THE KEY, OR CAPACITY TO EVOLVE DEPENDS CRUCIALLY ON OUR ABILITY TO CHANGE AT A MORPHOGENIC LEVEL. WE NEED TO BECOME HYBRIDSAPIANS OR WE RISK EXTINCTION.
