  • 2025: Geologists Uncover the World’s “Largest Lithium Deposit” Under American Supervolcano, Worth 413 Billion Euros

  • 2037: Deep-bore mining of the supervolcano begins.

  • 2049: The supervolcano mine now accounts for 60% of all lithium mined, worldwide, despite increasingly urgent warnings by geologists of instability.

  • 2051: The Event.

  • 2057: Survivors of The Event begin to make contact across the ash desert once known as the United States.
