In hindsight, the world chaos of the 2030s was inevitable. Hate without outlet spread like cancer.
It might even have happened without the New Enemy.
The old order was wiped out in twenty years of rioting and ethnic cleansing.

Finally, the old ways had to end: no more religion, no more politics, and no more countries.
The new order was coldly rational and free of passion.
There would be no central control or government, but human choices would be sharply restricted by circumstance. It would be impossible for power networks to form.

All it took was the most daring intervention of all time.
Those who executed the plan knew their greatest achievement would destroy them.
It took many years to find and eradicate the last hidden records, forbidden diaries, and cultural time bombs.
To prevent mankind from repeating history, history had been erased.
