Imagine a world after an environmental disaster. An unknown disease killed the four main cultures that fed humanity, and the Famine began. A tenth of the six billion survived, and the main task now is to feed those who remain. Forests have been cleared, all fertile lands have been plowed up, and art, education, science and medicine have been sacrificed; in a primitive agrarian society, they are unnecessary, dangerous and turn into heresy. Some fifty years is enough for a new Middle Ages to come, ruthless and dense. People are needed again only to work hard, reproduce a new labor force and die on the threshold of old age. And only decrepit witnesses of the old life, literate frightened «clever men», can at least try to change something.
