| As climate chaos ravages the globe, progressive developments in culture and society have paradoxically heralded an era of growing social stability, connectedness, and enlightenment amidst natural and human-made calamities. Humans now mainly live underground and in glass cupolas which range in size from that of houses to vast cities. Long tunnels connect these population centres, and enormous dams have been constructed to prevent flooding. Continuous storms rage across the earth's surface, and almost nothing survives for long above ground. Humans can make only brief, heavily protected expeditions above ground. Agriculture is difficult and expensive, animal and plant life everywhere endangered and on the brink of complete extinction. | As climate chaos ravages the globe, progressive developments in culture and society have paradoxically heralded an era of growing social stability, connectedness, and enlightenment amidst natural and human-made calamities.

| In these extreme conditions, Future Fabulators have become one node in a collective social tissue that works to maintain and evolve connections between culture, nature, science and art within and between communities. Their task is challenging, but the circumstances have actually brought people together to face hardships in solidarity, and the importance of FF's role in this collective is universally recognised. They are closely involved in connecting and translating between several newly emerging institutions and sciences whose focus is the natural world and the rediscovery of ways to live in harmony and equilibrium with ecosystems. School curriculums are centred on ecology, and plant and animal narratives are taught from the earliest age. Communication between plants, animals and humans is becoming a reality. Future Fabulators work to entwine these threads in narratives that connect, inspire and evolve communities, ensuring their resilience and creativity. | In these extreme conditions, Future Fabulators have become one node in a collective social tissue that works to maintain and evolve connections between culture, nature, science and art within and between communities.
