    Bell Riots are coming this year. The Second American Civil War starts in 2026, which leads directly into WWIII.

    From there, everything is pretty much terrible until warp drive is invented.

      it’s creepy how specific (and prophetic) the star trek writers were about our future. other than the Eugenics Wars not happening in the 90s, they’ve been pretty spot-on.

      The Bell Riots story line is by far my fave DS9 arc. There’s a really good Terry Pratchett book with roughly the same concept that is also my favorite of his books. It’s called Night Watch.
