It was Tuesday October 6th 2043; THE DAY BEFORE DAY ONE Of course, no one knew it was the day before Day One. In fact, no one would know it was the day before Day One for some 40 more years. It was not until the pseudo historian, Tomora Kilmore-Sharper, wrote in 2084, The Meaner, Leaner California. Of which in chapter three Kilmore-Sharper establishes the first ever timeline of the historical events that led up to the California coast falling into the Pacific Ocean. Kilmore-Sharper started her retelling of those events with Day One. Since such time, modern historians have bickered like ancient philosophers over the root origins of those events. Events that, in reality, any good ancient philosopher could have argued never truly existed at all. Jimmy and Jo live in the United Countries of North America in 2043. It has been 14 years since the Landmark Bombings of 2029 that forever wiped New York, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. off the maps. Now the North American Prime Minister, Lengthton E. B.-Hark, intends to bring peace between his country and Brazil. To end the Unfought War that has consumed the last 11 years of his tenure, he will call for a peace summit to meet in Peru. But ending a war that has never been fought will prove more difficult than our American PM can imagine, and will require one more great sacrifice of the UCNA. In a world that is plagued with secondhand sleep deprivation, frosted fudge brownies, condiment health warning labels, light pollution, severe thunderstorms, hyperactive immune systems, PIMPs, and a 'for the greater good' end-all mentality; Jimmy and Jo will set out on a quest to find a way out together. THE DAY BEFORE DAY ONE is the dark, political satire, preboot novella that introduces a large cast of characters and sets the stage for Jimmy and Jo's eventual escape, all while establishing the timeline of events that lead to the California coast falling into the Pacific Ocean.
