Right now it looks like we'll have a couple of decades of Road Warrior (any of the Mad Max series) for a couple of decades, with declining care use and rising cannibalism. And then its up to the roaches, rats and coyotes.

We're going to have to learn some serious Star Trek stuff if we're going to survive the climate crisis and plastic crisis.
