Futureshock: synopsis of story line so far by Isle of Wight Artist Tony Trowbridge.

8 years have passed the future looks bleaker than ever.
Our troops are now fighting all over the Middle East....Trying to stabilize huge areas of the Muslim Empire.
Oil reserves are weakening and the West needs more and more of the black gold.
The veneer of helping the Eastern civilizations has crumbled, it is now obvious the West wants to conquer, open hostility to bring democracy to the billions of non christians.
Eager to win....Massive scientific breakthoughs in medicine and robotics have enabled the West to build new revolutionary hybrid CCTV Bots. Built from dead, crippled and foreign fighters these cctv bots feed the hungry watching world up to the second news at the battlefront.
every death, every painful experience, every atrocity is downloaded directly into every home around the world. You can now watch your son, father, mother, daughter, friend or foe live and die just by pressing the Red Button on your remote.

At home our streets have been cleaned up by Police Bots and CCTV Bots, they patrol and watch everybody and everything.
Any wrongdoing is reported and the crime punished automatically either through immeadiate fining straight from your compulsory government bank account to registering for community service and jail sentancing. Some crimes are so severe they are punishable by serving time in a penal regiment on the front line somewhere in the Middle East.
Again you can watch the untrained criminal of your choice live and die by Pressing The Red Button on your Remote.
