Four months. That’s how long it took to reinvent extinction.
The Aptors of Prearth were many things—massive, powerful, undeniably cool—but they were not patient. Farming was supposed to fix everything. No more chasing prey. No more last-minute survival gambles. Just seeds in the dirt, crops in the sun, and a future that didn’t involve being eaten mid-sentence. It was a brilliant idea, right up until they realized plants don’t grow on a schedule. Within weeks, entire fields were ripped from the ground in frustration, irrigation systems dried up because nobody refilled them, and a particularly ambitious government decree outlawed anything that wasn’t rice. The result? A famine so bad they didn’t even have time to regret it.
The Friendly Robot Travel Agency invites you to tour The Rice Age Exhibit, where you can plant doomed crops, taste "historically accurate" extinct recipes, and witness firsthand why dinosaurs should have just stuck to biting things.

Rick’s Review:
"Watched an Aptor plant an entire field, then dig it up five minutes later to check if it worked. The past was a mistake."
