Unlike previous Nexus models, built with four-year lifespans, the Nexus 8s have open-ended lifespans, as well as ocular implants for easy identification. 2022 An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) of unknown origin detonates somewhere in the West Coast.

Those that can, go into hiding. 2025 Idealistic scientist Niander Wallace pioneers advancements in genetically modified food and shares his patents for free, marking an end to a global crisis.
