The Postmodern era ended in 2278 when a massive nuclear
warfare erupted between United States and Russia. Although technological
advancements had supplied countries with enough fiscal and military resources
for a mostly successful globalization of human rights, the two countries
ultimately ended up declaring war on each other after disagreements on the
death penalty. Warfare has become more devastating because of the invention of
highly effective bombs that have come since the early 2100’s. World War Three
wiped out a third of the global population; many have come to believe that
technology is a double-edged sword. Artists began to feature grimy textures and
grotesque figures in their digital paintings and many written works
collectively adopted a more somber tone. Although technology was used to
improve human rights, it was also used to bring all the hard work down
overnight.
