A Future History Without Space Travel

The Maurai trilogy, by which I mean the original three short stories, is unusual because:

it is unquestionably a future history series despite being so short;

it involves no space travel.

Of course, there need not be any space travel in the future. Merlin prophesied none. And, even if space travel does occur, a history of the future might recount only Terrestrial events, remaining the history of a single planet. Mankind as a whole does not leave Earth or the Solar System - unless a very large scale evacuation becomes necessary. In some future histories, mankind spreads through the galaxy so that eventually there are more people off Earth than on it but that does not happen immediately. I imagine that, in the Solar Commonwealth period of Poul Anderson's Technic History, I would live quite happily on Earth - until the Troubles start.
