2010
Global warming, an earth killer asteroid, World War III, or even a great plague, but no one expected the total collapse of the world’s economy, or that it would be the mechanism for the decline of the world's civilizations.
Bank closings soon became epidemic. The ones that did not initially close stopped lending. Without capital, businesses failed and unemployment soared. The world's governments continued printing money trying to keep their economies afloat, but in the end, their currencies lost all value.

Basic education survives, but higher learning, especially the sciences, is lost to the senseless violence after The Decline. Yet, for some there remains a belief that a new renaissance will emerge from the world's lost knowledge. It lies dormant; waiting...
