Thank you America for growing your population so large. When climate change gets so bad that the dykes pop, we can just grab the nearest American to plug the hole and save humanity.

But everything changed when the fire nation attacked.

There's no homelessness in ba sing se

Only 8 killed? That's only a short note on the business page "businesses on main street forced to remain closed all morning due to public kerfuffle"

The "end of the world as we know it" happens every day though. Maybe a bit philosophical, but humans are actually very good at handling change. So we will adapt, for better or worse.

I would like to suggest the Wayward Pines trilogy by Blake Crouch. (The books, not the television adaptation). It's a great scifi read. There he took the same idea of humans evolving beyond being human, but not in a controlled manner like you describe, but naturally and a bit bleaker.

Here's the blurb for the first book:

The first book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade

One way in. No way out.

Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission: locate two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase.

As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation turns up more questions than answers: Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out?

Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact—he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.

The nail-bitingly suspenseful opening installment in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster Wayward Pines trilogy, Pines is at once a brilliant mystery tale and the first step into a genre-bending saga of suspense, science fiction, and horror.

Yes, these answers are sanctioned by the proper authorities

We do not encourage violence, but yes

Well of course. It matters 0.023%

It's even older than that, since your post is already 6 hours old by now

Is this a period piece?
