Efforts: Globalscape

That was the Globalscape. Not a utopia. It was a decision . Made over and over, every second, by people who remembered the taste of fresh rain and the sound of a child’s laugh. They were building a lifeboat, but the sea was full of people who’d rather drown than share the oars.

Three years ago, New Shanghai and the Pacific Alliance had been on the brink of war over a single freshwater aquifer. Today, their engineers shared a server. The Eurasian Collective had cracked the code for atmospheric scrubbing, and they’d given it to the African Federation for free. The South American Spire project had been funded by a consortium of former enemies. globalscape efforts
