The 21st century. A century marked by the effects of climate change. Populism, demographic decline, and mismanaged economies have torn the fabric of civil society apart. The world is scarred, scared, and segregated. Divided into green, yellow, and red districts.

Stunning technological accomplishments and abundance exist side by side with desolation and despair. A privileged minority has found shelter and unprecedented comfort inside the Green Districts. The vast majority is caught in a draining day-to-day struggle inside the Yellow Districts in unnerving economic uncertainty. Millions are cut off inside Red Districts, corralled, abandoned, unprotected and unsupported, exposed to poverty, anarchy, and raging weather.

Part one of the FuturePast Chronicles, The Disappearance of Louisiana, recounts the events and decisions that forged the first Red District within the US borders.
