The Digital Artist
Resurrection Well, I’m turning 150 this year and I’ve finally returned to Tasmania after a long time away. Back in 2055 I was really old and on deaths door when they finally found a way to upload human consciousness into the grid. I was one of the first and was able to get most of the family on the list. Some people were nowhere near dying yet went digital anyway. The world had become a pretty nasty place. No more America after Yellowstone erupted. The whole northern hemisphere was impacted then came the War. After the fall of America and the World Wide Web, the Chinese and Europeans created the grid and that’s where I’ve been the last sixty or so years on and off.

The Humanimals
The story of the Humanimals is part of a much bigger history. It goes back a very long time ago, indeed before time existed, to another universe. The Shile were an ancient Elder race that had seen at least three different universe cycles. That is, the universe that gave birth to them had died. They had escaped this by slipping into another much younger universe and made new lives for themselves there. That's a long story in itself, but not for now. We are here to talk about the Humanimals. When the Shile civilisation finally came to this universe, they had a great migration in living world sized Seed Ships. All that they were, all the lives and creative power of their species was collected and recorded as genetic code. The Shile were great colonisers and terraformers. Their Seed Ships would bring life to new worlds. Other Elder races would hire their genetic services, get the new worlds ready for habitation. The Shile knew how to do that very well.
