Line 15:
* [[Ancient Keeper]]: Box. Also, the computer hidden within Crazy Horse Mountain, which takes care of all the young people littering the Earth and which is slowly, inevitably breaking down.
* [[Children Are a Waste]]: Very yound children are raised by robotic nursemaids, a la ''[[Brave New World (Literature)|Brave New World]]'', until they're old enough to strike out on their own -- which in this dystopian future happens at age 7.
* [[DeathsDeath's Hourglass]]: The life clocks. They're yellow from age 0-6, green from 7-13, red from 14-20, blink red-black-red-black on Lastday, and finally turn black when you hit 21.
* [[Dystopia]]: Since no one lives past 21, few people ever get the chance to learn how to fix and maintain the world's infrastructure. Cities are falling apart left and right, and many areas have decayed into outright lawlessness.
* [[Free Love Future]]: Nobody gives orgy houses with transparent walls and floors between the beds a second thought.
