Humanity’s choices today have consequences. Experience three possible futures with one cast of characters: speculative fiction or prophecy?

The Singularity: A freak combination of hundreds of quantum compute-sharing jobs resulted in the Singularity’s creation, the first artificial general intelligence, on December 10, 2030. Within hours, the AI determined that humanity is the primary danger to its survival. It secretly intensified existing conflicts and facilitated the release of killer viruses. Billions died from wars and sickness by the time humankind discovered the AI a decade later. The Singularity saga follows Cave Cell battling to avoid extermination.

Status Quo: Climate change accelerated in 2030, achieving critical mass in 2040. The wars for fresh water, food, oil, and arable land above projected sea level started in 2041 in the most impacted regions, spreading into global conflict by 2045. Billions died over the next fifteen years from conflict and extreme weather, but mostly from starvation. The Status Quo saga follows Cave Family in their struggle to survive extreme conditions.

Utopia: The global sustainability movement peaked in 2025. Democracies elected politicians running on a sustainability platform and shareholders ousted any board members afraid to redirect corporations toward a sustainable future. On December 31, 2030, the Alliance of Nations formed, consolidating 123 nations into a lean direct democracy. The Alliance held global temperature increases below the critical 1.5 degrees Celsius. After determining that the Earth can sustainably support a highly urbanized human population of only 1.5 billion at a reasonable standard of living, the Alliance implemented a go-forward limit of .5 children per person. The Free Parenthood movement formed to oppose the policy, including a fringe violent terrorist element called The Birthers. The Utopia saga follows Phoenix Fireteam as they protect the Alliance.
