In 2032, spaceships replace airplanes for travel, though trips are rare and require approval. Most experiences occur virtually, and people communicate telepathically, even influencing the weather. Life focuses on energy, consciousness, and less materialism. Physical stores are now learning institutions, and people wear simpler clothing. Crime still exists but is managed through rehabilitation rather than punishment. People live healthier lives with lighter food, and even cancer is treated through deep self-healing rather than conventional surgery.
