Rain Never Fell

A country where everything's regulated by what's "ethical."Where growing old, or not, can be negotiated, depending on what you're willing to give up.Having children is by regulation; being frugal earns you the right to petition for a vehicle of your own; and actual currency is just for collectors.It's a time when antibiotics have been overused to the point of worthlessness. New ones are always rushed out, with insufficient thought about side effects. Roadways are programmed to steer you safely away from possible dangers. Wild creatures know this and have adapted to avoid the electronic programming that vehicles cannot.And then a minimal hurricane arrives, and insurgents who have been waiting, doing their own secret experiments, take the opportunity to wreak havoc on the area it affects.
