Global warming is inevitable. By the end of the 21st century, catastrophic changes will occur on the planet, forcing people into several Habitable Zones—limited spaces where organized societies will still be able to exist. The largest and most powerful of them will be located in Russia, on the Central Siberian Plateau. It will remain the only foundation of human civilization and the basis for its survival and development. What challenges will its inhabitants face? What new threats will they have to confront? Perhaps global warming will bring cataclysms far more dangerous than catastrophic climate change. Read about a version of the future in Edgar Grant’s novel “Territory.”
