Ten years.
AI rose to power, and robots took over all production.
A wave of unemployment swept across the world. Riots erupted everywhere, and blood flooded the streets.
Brain-computer chips became widespread. There was no need to study hard to gain knowledge, and social class was written into the chips' code.

Romance, marriage, and natural childbirth had vanished completely.
