Gen XIX

In the year of 2100, the world becomes overpopulated, the number of people reachingover fifty billion. Every day there are people starving to death and homeless families livingon the streets. Gang violence is rampant, and prisons are overrun with criminals. There isjust no nice place to live in the world anymore.In order to come up with countermeasures, all countries come together to find a way tostop all this madness. They bring in a young scientist who thinks he has found a solutionto the problem. He invents a drug that he names Gen XIX, aka the End, which will preventpeople from reproducing. It will neutralize a human being's reproductive system. Theyoung scientist thinks that the governments will only use the drug in some of the worstareas in the world, but he later finds out that all the countries have introduced the druginto their main water supplies without the public's knowledge. They were planning to stopthe overpopulation with genocide!Ten years pass, and it's the year 2110. By this time, the public has discovered what thegovernment has done. The creator of the drug succeeds in making a temporary cure, whichhe calls the Gen XX, aka Life. Once used, it will stay in the body for three months, longenough for a female to become pregnant with a child. The government uses this in theirfavor, allowing the public to think they will have a chance to have children once again. Thegovernment puts a law out that a citizen wanting to have a child must apply for Life, passa writing test to show that they are knowledgeable, and pay fifty thousand dollars for onedose. This rules out most of the world's population except for the upper classes and peoplein the government.In the year 2160, the scientist who created Gen XIX and Gen XX passes away, taking withhim the knowledge of how to make Gen XX. By the year 2200, the world runs out of GenXX and has a population of only one million people. While most people fear the possibilityof human extinction, others welcome the thought of it, thinking that humans deserve it.Not many people are left in the world, and only about fifty thousand are left in the UnitedStates. With so few people, not many are working. This has left stores empty and peoplestarving once again. In the year 2222, the only way to live is by forming groups and movingon with life from city to city. Some are just trying to stay alive, some simply want everyonedead, and others are trying to find a way to make Gen XX once again.Tie and three of his best friends are on the hunt for survival, not wanting anything to dowith Gen XX. In the midst of their struggles, they will find themselves playing a small partin saving mankind.
