NEW YORK CAFÉ
NEW YORK CAFÉ
It is New York in the year 2030. What is different in this future? Well, there are new planes, flying cars, many tall buildings, and astronauts can travel to Mars. But some things are not so different from today …
People watch the news on television and go to cafés. People have computers and use e-mail. And it is not a good future for everybody – there are still many hungry and poor people in America … and all over the world. And there is killing, too.
Computerhead wants to change things and make a better future for everybody. But how do you help people and make them happy. There are good ways and bad ways. And doing the right thing is not always easy.
