The Mayan calendar ends in the year 2012 and some believe the Mayans predicted the apocalypse or a great change for life on earth (era of the 6th sun). With the singularity (technology developing at an explosive,exponential rate) looming over modern society. My concept is a story set in post-singular LA where society has crumbled into high-tech tribal gang warfare. The collection is my vision of one of these gangs called The Sixth Sun; a Mexican biker gang that has reverted to Mayan beliefs after realizing their ancestors had predicted the future.
