Futuristic

[close] Under Construction ❝Attention citizens, your leader has an important announcement to make. Millenniums ago, the human race was a pitiful thing. They were an obsolete species. Since their downfall, we have picked up where they have crumbled and created a new civilization. We believe ourselves to be the better, more advanced versions of homosapiens. Our ways are efficient-- they are the ways of the future. In this new nation, we are one. We dress alike, we act alike, we think alike. However, there are those of us who wish to evade the new system and instead decide to rebel. They have formed a society where humans dress differently from the person next to them, where they act to their own accord... where they think for themselves. These are the type of people who caused the ruination of the past societies! And for that reason, we must find the rebels and eliminate their existence. We are the new Genisis, and we refuse to fall.❞ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I am a part of a revolution. I am a part of a whole. Two different sides. Two different perspectives. Who do you team with? Who do you believe in?

[close] a world with a lot of technology, detroits, and also cute fluff and angst! :)

[close] The only way to know the future is by being aware of the past, the present, and its trends. Since we know we can't see the future, at least we can guess and narrow down our forecasts - but to do that, we need knowledge. We create this reading group to fill the gap between where we are now and the times to come. We aim to get a broader perspective, a bigger picture, a bird's view. A reading group focused on utopias and dystopias that make us think, books and essays that put us aware of our environment, futuristic innovations, and tales from the past, that teach us how and why the things we have today are like they are, and maybe help us to know how to change them. The group proposes to read around one book or essay (article, interview) per month, ~12 books in total. Books about finance, history, political and philosophical questions. Books about happiness and how to live a better life. Are these the tools to survive in this information society? We think so, if you don't agree, join the reading club and prove us wrong! Welcome to the future! FRC

[close] You stand against the wall, heart pounding, fists clenching and unclenching. You've seen the men before, the men in dark suits scanning the row of children, scrutinizing every inch until there's nothing left secret. You know what they want: Someone strong. Someone good-looking. Or just someone who will be entertaining. They stop in front of you. A hard gray man pulls down black sunglasses and smiles at you before pressing the needle into your arm. Angel's Island: the ultimate paradise. If you can survive it. Every year a number of lucky teenagers are offered the chance of a lifetime: to act in the hit reality show Angel's Island. One island. One volcano. One escape balloon at the top. The water is rising rapidly over the tropics and there will only be one winner. Just one problem. It isn't an act, and the competitors are the only ones who know it. Who will survive Angel's Island?
