The science classes spent much of their time on global warming, though the global temperature averages had not increased since the late 1990s. It consisted of, essentially, group work that amounted to exercises that involved counting. Mathematics had been scrubbed to remove the sexist and culturally-biased concepts of the past. They would take “Language and Writing” instead of “English” – English was no longer privileged over other, equally valid languages. If they had gone to one of the grim schools within a few blocks away, all half empty thanks to the plummeting birthrate (but fully staffed because no unionized government worker could ever be let go), the curriculum would have been much different. The curriculum was English reading and writing, math, and history, as well as Hebrew and Torah. Life went on inside the complex the children were quiet most of the day inside the empty room the community used as a classroom. They slept until almost noon the next day, then spent several hours cleaning their weapons and double checking their gear. Turnbull and Junior watched the result pass by outside their windows – miles and miles of burnt brown former farmland now reclaimed by the desert, and towns abandoned and empty. But the others, the ones that stored water for farmers and for people in less exalted places like Modesto and Stockton, came crashing down to widespread self-congratulation. The Hetch Hetchy dam, which fed the Crystal Springs reservoirs hundreds of miles to the west on the San Francisco Peninsula that slaked the thirst of the coastal elite, stayed intact.

The run-off of the snowpack that California’s intricate system of dams, reservoirs and canals used to catch and store now ran out to the sea through the Delta unhindered. Once, settlers had merely poured the Sierra Nevada’s bountiful water on the earth and the crops had practically sprung up overnight. The Central Valley’s legendary farms were gone.
