*The Great Reversion

The year is 2042, and Canada has become unrecognizable. The skyline of once-thriving cities now stands abandoned, overtaken by creeping vines and silence. The government—if it can still be called that—has turned back the clock, dismantling the industries, technologies, and economic systems that once defined modern civilization.

Under the rule of the Council of Restoration, the nation has rejected the Industrial Revolution, believing it to be the root of moral decay, economic collapse, and environmental destruction. Factories have been torn down, the internet is a relic of the past, and the people have been forced back to an agrarian society where barter and trade replace currency. Urban centers have emptied, their populations scattered into self-sufficient villages where survival depends on the land, one’s hands, and the community.

Electricity is a privilege of the state, used only to maintain records and monitor dissent. Cars, planes, and modern medicine are things of the past. Education is now a return to classical texts, religious teachings, and practical survival skills. Progress has been redefined—not by innovation, but by how well one can live as their ancestors did.

Not all accept this forced regression. In the shadows, resistance grows—scientists, engineers, and those unwilling to let go of the world they once knew. The government calls them Reconstructionists, branding them as heretics clinging to the sins of modernity. But as famine, disease, and unrest creep through the cracks of this utopian ideal, one question remains: Can a nation truly move forward by running backward?*
