Which future will you choose?

Homosapiens 2.0 is a 800-word flash fiction in the genre of science fiction.

At the same time, I found myself provoked by ideas claiming that the only way out of the climate crisis is through increased consumption — to keep society running, so we can afford to have more children who, in the future, might become scientists and invent solutions to the problems we ourselves have caused.
Out of these thoughts, the story Homosapiens 2.0 was born.
