I love fiction. Maybe I live addicted in it....
Apart from that, I would do the story totally different...
China would be the striker to conquer the world. US world automatically react behind the stages because China would be a fierce power. Russia would do the same as USA but because of how close it is to China, I am unable to predict anything. Korea, Japan and the Middle East fanatic factions would have "interesting" behaviour... Again, I don't know what could happen.
I have to concur with Africa easily conquered except North and South Africa...
Genetically Modified Humans will appear eventually but initially without extreme changes. Just some changes in some genes.
It didn't get my full attention for several reasons but mainly because it is not my style.
One note: think in changing the title to "Possible Future History", "Fictional Future History" or something like that.
Overall, I liked the idea but for me could be better. Still had fun reading. And I believe one of the best ways to know a person creativity and way of thinking is to read how they would construct a world or future.
Maybe someday I release my notes about fictional "realities" and worlds/universes. I am curious to see the opinions...
wow this is very nice. I think you should change WWIII to WWIV or WWV, though, because I think there will be a 3rd World War much sooner than we think, if we aren't alerady into one since 9/11/2001
MQR (WTF) DJ. Explain yourself a bit. O_o That and a world war (though in my head: it doesn't extend to all continents) even in a kind of silent or cold war.
Or maybe I am too innocent to comprehend.
Talking about WWIII, most probably it will start as a cold and silent war in my opinion. And probably, too, only known by Military and Governments in an initial stage.
