'Continuing global warming produces the worst storms in history with massive floods, drowned coastal cities, and utter chaos as city populations struggle to cope with a sudden sea level rise around 30 metres. Millions disappear, drowned, feared dead, and those who survive find life can never be the same again. The world is no longer what it once was, and without the amenities and infrastructure we take for granted, the human race must take a step backwards in order to survive, to begin again in a floating world.'

A passing reference to it in Bruce Gillespie’s Fan Guest of Honour Speech at Aussiecon Three (2 September 1999) [republished in Scratch Pad 34, October 1999] tells us that it was made by John Litchen in 1972 and included footage of the contemporary Melbourne fan scene.
