Eden 2084

by John G. Jung

Overview

Eden 2084 is about a future in which the leaders of the early part of the century failed to meet the temperature limit necessary to stop the world from overheating. In 2040, the USA is so badly polarized around climate change issues that it splits into Red and Blue States. As the world exceeds 4°C above pre-industrial levels in the 2080s, the existential threat must be halted. Winston and Greta, two climate change crusaders collaborate in 2060 to create a model net-zero community in one of the Blue States attracting climate refugees, many of whom create innovative solutions to help in dealing with the climate crisis. After a scientist from Moscow defected to a Blue State in 2084, his experiments are pursued as part of a major solution to reduce the global temperature. However, his project is hijacked by terrorist hackers supported by the Red States, potentially to weaponize it. The tensions between the Red and Blue States become so extreme that a cyber war occurs between them. And more! But the story is not dystopian. It is about hope, despite the mistakes of the past.
