The Brave New World

IMPORTANT: I WILL NOT BE CONTINUING THIS SERIAL. SYNOPSIS It is January 2nd, 2035. In New York, leaders of all the world's nations are assembling to agree on a plan to save the dying planet: Earth. Of course it's a lie, because the planet isn't about to die. People will. As it often happens when something starts with a lie, disaster strikes. A mysterious electromagnetic storm destroys the global power grid, and cuts communications. Many people die, some commiting suicide because of the inability to post on Instagram. But as soon as the storm dies down, millions of mysterious, glowing cubes appear all over the globe. The cubes contain tools that will let humans colonize a new planet: a bigger, richer version of Earth. The newly formed Colonial Council, which answers to the United Nations, has only one goal: to ease the crisis on Earth by transfers of goods and resources from the New World. Millions of new colonizers rush to the New World, united by a common purpose: to turn their dreams into reality. Some dream of getting rich by trading New World goods. Some dream of conquest, and building an empire. Some dream of peace, adoration, and love. Some will succeed, and others will fail. But fortune always favors the brave.

Colonization in Real Life

Li Yang made a show of considering Jake's question carefully. Then he said:

"Well, if things get real bad, we can always try eating those reeds."

He did his best to keep a straight and serious face but when Jake laughed and punched his arm and called him a depressed asshole, he couldn't help smiling.

"Let's have a look at the supplies," Jake said, and they both walked over to the pile of items left by the governor's boat.

The cowhide shifts they now wore had been on the very top of the stack, partly covering and protecting it from rain. There was an assortment of tools: among others, a spade and a shovel, a pick, a hoe, a primitive rake with wooden teeth, and two long-handled axes. The tools looked crude and roughly made; the only exception were the two wide-bladed knives. The blades had been worked on with some care, and they glistened in the sunlight.
