DELAWARE in 2068, like large portions of the lowland east coast, is a soggy economic ghetto populated by people who can’t afford to move to higher ground and who live in moldy, chronically flooded homes. Science fiction? Nope. It has already begun:
“The Great Migration was out of the south into the industrialized north, whereas this is from every coastal place in the US to every other place in the US,” said Hauer. “Not everyone can afford to move, so we could end up with trapped populations that would be in a downward spiral. I have a hard time imagining what that future would be like.”
