2025: A Story of Survival

A surprise attack launched from the International Space Station will result in 95% of the urban and suburban U.S. population dying within two weeks due to starvation, violence, and the effects of radiation. There will be no time for a retaliatory strike as strategic assets are destroyed. Our cities will become jungles ruled for a short time by gangs that carve out their territory, seeking food, water, plunder, and rape. An EMP attack will immediately magnetize all internal combustion engines; airplanes will fall from the skies; all unprotected vehicles will immediately crash due to loss of control. Survivors will wait in vain for a return to normalcy. China invades the U.S. while Russia invades Europe. As Albert Einstein once remarked, "I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but I am confident that World War IV will be fought with sticks and rocks." This is a story of survival.
