For the sake of the question, let’s just assume that no apocalyptic event happens that wipes out the human race.
Underground tribes living off of the mushrooms we can cultivate. Waging war on other tribes for ressources.
Basically ‘Metro 2033’, but less cool.
I think we are going to completely abstract from traditional ethics, entertainment, and communication, aside from a few niche communities akin to a 21st century Amish.
We are currently on track to reach +4.5°C average heat increase above pre-industrials levels in 2100. Which means famines all over the World, only 30% of current agricultural Land left for Farming, and wild fires being a common occurence up to the 50th latitude. And Not being able to Go outside in Summer for Most of the World, because our availability to sweat will be hindered by high humidity levels, leaving most people of the Population left for a high Chance to Heat strokes.
All of that assuming our current scientific Models are not lacking behind the reality, as with the recent sharp increase over +1,5°C in 2023-2024, we can not yet completely explain yet. So it could be worse than that, the chances of it being better are almost Zero.
Higher global temperature and more drastic weather. Better medicine and medical equipment but with higher costs. Decreasing global population, but more homeless people due to ai software and physical bots. The continually profitting billionaires will control more of the media to influence those below them, ie to have them fight among themselves rather than them. Probably more in “goverments” for more control. Continuing wars just different countries for profit.
This won’t be that big of a difference within that timespan, but the trend will continue as more time passes.
I try to be an optimist, but unless the underclass revolts, it’s hard to see otherwise.
There will be a lunar spacestation, according to NASA, which I’ll be looking forward to seeing, at least.
Mad max, probably
I think Cyberpunk is more likely. Huge buildings, no plants, no animals, everything controlled by big corps and law is basically non-existent except if rich folk are affected
Socialism or barbarism
The way we begin 2025, both the Fallout and Judge Dredd universes come to mind.
That’s a big assumption but if not there may be a few of us that have adapted to the harsh air and live in holes in the Arctic and Antarctic poles where they can find land to protect from the super windstorms and acid rain. But I’m not sure what the food source will be. Maybe that shit they eat in the matix movies. Because you can’t grow anything due to the acid rain and contaminated soil from the above mentioned acid rain.
Massive wars will break out over climate refugees invading the least affected areas. Billions will die and those left will be trying desperately to rebuild society. Nuclear contamination will be a real problem after nukes are used by middle East countries completely out of fresh water that Western countries are hoarding. Corporations will be outlawed after Nestle attempted to create a water monopoly and massive revolt saw their board murdered in public by a mob. Humanity will be 1/10th the population of today.
Well, if it’s not a post-apocolyptic hellscape I’m going to assume that someone figured something out.
The woke kabal of global elites will abolish traditional biological gender norms. Every character in every piece of media will rewritten be trans. Hamlet? Trans. Jesus Christ? Trans. John McClain? Trans. The global government will keep the population meek with estrogen-laced tofu and anti-gun legislation. Nobody will read Plato; the only philosphers will be Judith Butler and Jaque Derrida. White people and white culture will have ceased to exist. America will be a Communist Islamic Transocracy where conservatives are hunted down by drones that capture them and force them to read Critical Race Theory.

TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS
Everyone will become gay and artificial baby’s will produce. We will just work and no feelings. Ai and robot will be there also credit system
Either post or mid mass migration. Big old swaths of the earth are gonna be tougher to inhabit in the coming decades. We’ll probably pave the way with famines and genocides. I’m sure the wealth gap will only grow. Most of us will be vegetarian.
Empty acidic oceans and smaller mammals. Larger insects and more carnivorous plants. No human life.
Bleak
