humanity
The evolution of humanity, from one advancement to the next.
Siren
In my dream, there is music. At first, I panic. The music is sweet but heavy. It clogs my ears and fills my nose and mouth as if to drown me. I try to scream but there is no sound and there is no air. But then I hear words. I cannot understand them, for they are too old and too ancient for me to comprehend. Instead, they soothe me like the whisperings of a lover. There is sorrow in the music. Sorrow as deep as the black chasms that crack the seafloor. There is longing too, the restless ache of a sailor oceans from his home. In a way, I am reminded of Mariela. I can almost hear her voice in the music’s ebb and flow and see her lips move with the mysterious lyrics. Her lips move again and out of the melody I recognize a word. An irresistible command that shocks me like ice and scorches me like fire:
TRACK LOOP
I awoke. The ringing of a rhythmic hum swam in my ears, followed by echoing voices that seemed to dim the very moment I’d noticed.

Prefix A startling voice from what could be considered the cruelest hell rings out over the intercom. “Restrain and sedate subject seven-two-seven, immediately.”

I've been sitting in this waiting room for 4 hours, 20 minutes, and 29 seconds. 30 seconds. 31. They won't let me go until I answer.
Nicole KeefePublished 2 years ago in FuturismExcellence is about being the best at what you do best.
I don't know if you've noticed, but in this world, being excellent is no longer enough, because excellent people abound, and the standard of measurement is never the same. So you have to be excellent, so excellent that everyone who sees you will give you a thumbs up.

I opened my eyes , slowly waking and readjusting from my slumber . I cried at the thought of getting up . But my alarm said otherwise. It was screaming , “wake up!” , while I was thinking please let me sleep one more moment . I gentle circled my feet and rolled out of my bed. I didn’t want to go to work! Why I’m so tired of this job ! When will all my hard work with everything else pay off ? I keep hearing it’s right around the corner . Adjust your mind and keep a positive state of being . Then I start to think of how they found out the earth core is actually ionic. So much interesting news about space , so many interesting facts of dinosaurs; I could never be bored .
April LiaoPublished 2 years ago in FuturismNobody Likes To Talk About the End of the World
I like to think that if every country had a chance to end the world, they’d find a way to mess it up. France would manage to screw something over and drop the bombs on themselves; Iceland would try to pelt people with rocks only to realize they can’t throw that far; everyone in Ireland would die of some kind of skin cancer before they got drunk enough to even hit the button; the only person in England with enough authority to commit such catastrophes is the Queen and she’d resort to the methods from the good old days—catapulting dead bodies to spread the plague, but in this case, COVID-19. Everyone in Asia would make threats up until the last second when their bluff was called and satellites saw they didn’t have any weapons, like a school bully with two broken arms; the United States wouldn’t be able to get along long enough to decide who gets to press the button; Canada’s like that weird neighbor whose master plan of “world obliteration” includes baking you brownies with too much cholesterol; and half the countries in the Middle East would be pointing and laughing at the US until they died of radiation, too.
Fiona BuffingtonPublished 2 years ago in FuturismThe 10 Questions That Will REALLY Help You Adapt To Climate Change
The internet is full of good and useful (and some utterly idiotic) advice about preparing for major weather events and infrastructure failures. Often, these are aimed at people who think things have not yet hit the fan, but will, and probably in some big obvious way that will announce itself, like an earthquake with a marquee reading THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
Hotel Arman
“Data is the new oil.” Clive Humby I wake in a room. Slivers of sunlight fight to pass through the material of the curtains that try to hide away the plate-glass window, bathing the chamber in a bath of beige. I glance over to my left. There is a bedside table there, generic wood and Bakelite. Incorporated in the façade is an alarm clock. 07:04. Early.
