Ice, the year 2020 in the Bay Area:

excerpt
7. BIOTECH WARS: Guerrilla action will turn murderous when members of PETAV, People for the Ethical Treatment of Any Vegetable, pistol-whip three farmers to death in a tomato field near Nome, Alaska. A leaflet decrying "monster fruit and mutant vegetables" will be found beside the bodies. Reports of genetically altered foods causing cancer, diabetes, impotence and bloat will run rampant; stores will post signs saying "Our produce always keeps its genes on!" The Human Genome Project will be finished and denounced for its potential to create a master race "just like the Nazis wanted to do." Universities will slowly defund genetic research in the face of increasing public resistance, and by 2020 only certain suspicious patches of green in the middle of the Mojave, Sahara and Gobi deserts will be all that is left of this once promising line of scientific inquiry. No master race will be developed, although research into increasing lifespans will go on at private institutions. Rich people will live for a very long time but won't be able to remember why they wanted to.
