"The twenty-first century of modern earth no longer exists after global heat scoured the earth and an ice age cultivated what remained. Space evacuees consider earth to be just another useless planet, and having no means of returning, remained exiles. Floating ocean habitats became the arcs for preservation of the human species. Earths magnetic pole shifted and multiplied to eight random locations. Satellites, computers, electronics and the conveniences once considered a necessity no longer exist. Was hate, war, crime, greed and the faults of mankind eliminated by earth’s destruction or laying dormant in the minds of ocean and space survivors? Thousands of years has lapsed, and the earth is in rejuvenation as the ice age retreats to the poles. Descendants of the original ocean inhabitants living on floating habitats emerge to reclaim existence on the land. Though maintaining mental advancement, settlers live a pre-industrial and pre-electronic life style. New world inhabitants venture forth to settled, though unable to populate. Evidence of prehistoric twenty-first century existence of mankind lays buried in the tilled landscape of receding glaciers. A new existence of mankind upon the earth may have a new beginning."--
