Dear Transitioners,

Our parents would often refer to the summer of 2022 as the beginning of the new normal in climate change, and how quickly the signs of a deteriorating environment became apparent.

They would talk about America's divisions and the rise of fascism everywhere. But, they'd also mention 2022 as a ray of hope. Those who had been silent opponents of the extreme right movement had found a new sense of motivation. They would describe how the fascist movement's leader was brought to justice, sparking a surge of red rage, only to be greeted by an even stronger push for democracy.

The majority of us were either extremely young or had yet to be born, yet the stories live on. Humanity in 2052 is very different from what you know now. While many became hardened and resentful, others saw a chance to build a brighter future, even if it meant giving up so much for themselves.

The irony is that what they gave up was the same thing that didn't make them happy in the first place. Learn to make do with less, and indulge in the attraction of the metaverse. What could rescue us all will surprise you.
