• In 2053 Survivors Underground

    In a world where technology has woven itself into the fabric of daily life, the Tribes stand as beacons of resilience and adaptation. Set in a not-so-distant future, this riveting tale follows the journey of survivors caught in the midst of a catastrophic storm that has severed them from the world they once knew.

    Amidst the chaos, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and robotics become more than mere tools; they are lifelines, guiding the characters through a labyrinth of challenges. From first-aid bots and automated suitcases to virtual reality meetings and remote-controlled avatars, the story immerses readers in a world where the boundaries between technology and humanity blur.

    As the survivors navigate their new reality, they are forced to confront the harsh truth that the world as they knew it may never be the same. In this dystopian landscape, themes of community, survival, and the delicate balance between tradition and progress intertwine, creating a thought-provoking narrative that will resonate with readers long after the last page.

    Cindy and Winston take shelter in a tunnel system owned by a Native tribe. As temporary accommodations are set up, they both grapple with most like losing friends and loved ones. The World Net is down but they get on the net run by the tribe.

    Tamika leaves a cruise with her husband to fix a problem in the largest neighborhood complex on the East Coast. Most of the residence of this NC are game addicts so she hardly sees anyone even though she goes to the NC mall. As storms around the world reach many locations, her husband makes a fearful call to her from a shelter and she loses contact with a co-contractor.
