Hydrophobia Prophecy PS3

neo-Malthusian Manifesto

We note that on this week in history, the United Nations has announced that the human population on planet Earth has reached 7 billion, a mere 12 years after the 6 billion milestone was surpassed and 81 years since we reached 2 billion. In the context of this staggering, exponential human population expansion, we would like to present the Hydrophobia Prophecy neo-Malthusian Manifesto, which you will find attached.

Hydrophobia Prophecy, a Playstation 3 videogame set in the year 2051, follows the real United Nations forecasts forward to a time when almost 10 billion people will inhabit the world, with devastating consequences for all mankind. The ideological battle between the neo-Malthusian terrorists of the game who want to see population growth controlled and even culled and the Cornucopians who pursue technology as a means of artificially increasing resource levels is ground in existing political debate.
