Mankind has always been fascinated with becoming ‘Godlike’. Improving on God’s creation seems well within the reach of man with the evolution of bionic implants. Humanoid was founded in 2042 by Cris Russel, the German tech tycoon and inventor of the first weaponized exoskeleton. Humanoid is convinced that the predicament of the human race is in its obstinate refusal to become one with machine kind. Only the evolved cybernetic human will survive eventual extinction.
Space Exploration took off in early 2020 once Rover III set up the first electrolysis experiment to extract oxygen from the Martian atmosphere. For the very first time in human history, it seems that the only thing that inhibits us from setting up a colony on Mars is the man and the motivation to get us there. Founded by Allen Maverick, ex-NASA scientist, who pioneered the 2040 rover X missions. Cosmostellar believes a mass exodus to Mars is the only way to preserve mankind.
Manipulating the building blocks of the universe is now well within man’s reach. The advances of nanotech herald a brand new way of life. The applications of nanotech in Medicine, Human Enhancement, and Engineering are endless. It seems ‘thinking small’ is the key to changing our future. Founded by Takashi Noma the Japanese futurist in 2043, Nyoko labs is harnessing the power of nanotech to combat our imminent extinction. The fate of the human race lies in the balance.
The completion of the second Human Genome Project (HGP II) in 2045 gave researchers a treasure trove of information on studying possible mutations. The script of human evolution and genetic mutation was finally decoded in an Olympian endeavour that spanned three decades. Founded by Natasha Roy the famed Indian microbiologist in 2047, Gene X is intent on mutating the human genome to expedite the pace of Darwinian evolution. The enhanced genome will create a race of human progeny that can survive any apocalyptic event.
