Conditions On Earth

In Mirkheim:

a pontoon city floats across the Philippine Sea - it is referred to as if the reader were familiar with it;

pumpships draw minerals from the seabed to feed plankton;

there has been a Classical Revival in music;

the best antisenescence buys a hundred years of life.

It will be more than that in the twenty fifth century. I recently heard that, other things being equally, people born now in developed countries will have a life expectancy of a hundred and twenty - although "other things being equal" is a major qualification, especially at present.

I would like to blog more but duty calls.
