Content:
In 2015, mankind lives in underground quarters
to escape the third world war. Only "those responsible"
stay up there and continue to wage war.
Years later however, peace has been made, the war has
ended. The population in the underground tanks however
still think there is a war going on.
It is interesting how a group of people, isolated from
the rest of the world can be led to believe what the
"media" tells them. In that sense, it is a
great analysis of what is happening to all of us. Although
we don't live underground, there is still the media,
feeding us information we have absolutely no means of
checking. Maybe there is no war in Africa. Maybe there
is no peace in Scandinavia. Unless you happen to live
there, how can you be sure?
