Introduction  

   

Homosapien…  Neanderthal…  Mankind…  human  being…  No  matter  how  we  are  

defined  there  are  limits  to  our  existence.  Boundaries  have  been  set  that  cannot  

be  broken  or  exceeded  because  of  our  biological  form.  How  we  are  conceived,  

what  genes  dictate  our  characteristics  of  colour,  size  and  behaviour,  our  

potential  strengths,  weaknesses  and  the  inevitable  ageing  process  that  is  

programmed  into  our  bodies  constantly  defines  us.  We  are  a  species  that  science  

claims  to  have  evolved  from  the  apes  but  natures’  evolutionary  cycle  has  lead  us  

to  be  the  dominant  race  on  this  planet  by  our  advanced  intellect.  This  evolution  

process  that  takes  hundreds  or  millions  of  years  to  progress  in  any  biological  

creature  will  be  challenged  and  overcome  in  the  future.

Adolescent  Beginning  

 

My  name…  it’s  irrelevant.  My  purpose…  my  purpose  is  my  own  choice  to  share  

what  I  believe  to  be  a  perversion  of  our  given  right  by  nature  or  the  cosmic  

powers  that  be  to  populate  this  planet.  Our  future  is  filled  with  technological  

advances  that  are  unimaginable  at  some  points  with  many  advantages  for  the  

human  race…  but  these  advantages  come  with  a  price  as  all  pros  must  have  cons,  

yin  and  yang,  some  forms  of  balance  must  be  kept.    

 

In  the  beginning  our  conception  was  a  random  act  of  shared  chromosomes  and  

gene  combinations  relative  to  our  parents.  That  random  act  of  nature  has  been  

infiltrated  and  exposed  as  an  algorithm,  a  code…  a  formula  to  the  alteration  of  

our  growth.  We  are  not  randomly  born  with  unknown  characteristics;  we  are  

modified…  customized,  personalized  by  our  creators  who  wish  for  the  model  

child  they  could  be  proud  of.  We  are  not  allowed  the  right  to  prove  our  potential  

through  years  of  trail  and  error,  we  are  already  expected  to  fail  and  disappoint.  

With  our  engineered  potential,  we  are  expected  to  prevail  and  succeed.  But  being  

an  enhanced  human  doesn’t  mean  the  absence  of  failure  but  the  expectation  of  

greater  accomplishments,  with  the  allowed  margin  for  error  reduced  to  a  

miniscule  molecule.  Potential  is  not  based  on  perseverance  but  the  fact  that  our  

genes  dictate  our  output.  If  your  genes  were  altered  to  be  an  Olympic  athlete,  you  

had  better  break  records  or  be  labelled  a  massive  disappointment.  Such  is  the  life  

of  an  evolved  adolescent  to  a  teenager  who  has  to  realise  his  true  potential  

without  choosing  his  own  path.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rebellious  Change  

 

As  with  all  teenagers  rebellion  is  a  necessity,  if  they  are  to  experience  they’re  

own  freedom  and  grow  as  individuals.  While  being  genetically  enhanced  at  birth  

the  rebellious  behaviour  of  teenagers  is  still  present  within  our  race.  However,  

their  experiences  are  far  more  troubling  than  the  early  days  of  drug  abuse  and  

peer  pressure.  Some  drugs  in  the  early  days  were  detrimental  to  your  health  and  

illegal  because  of  the  side  effects.  Our  future  consists  of  drugs  that  alter  the  body  

and  mind,  but  are  very  legal.  The  side  effects  experienced  are  not  harmful  to  

oneself,  but  rather  to  those  in  society  who  cannot  afford  to  pay  for  the  medical  

marvels.  For  example,  in  the  early  days,  the  fashion  industry  still  insisted  

perfection  could  be  grasped  with  chemicals  that  would  improve  your  appearance  

tenfold  and  a  skinny  body  was  still  the  most  desirable  form.  Those  who  could  not  

afford  these  chemicals  felt  imperfect  and  unfit  to  socialise  with  the  so-­‐called  

“perfect”.  Some  bought  medication  to  suppress  this  side  of  depression  but  only  

as  long  as  they  could  afford  it.  Others  managed  to  continue  living  without  the  

medication  while  others  went  as  far  as  ending  their  lives  because  they  felt  

separated  from  society  and  could  not  overcome  their  feelings  of  a  detached  

existence.  Sadly,  our  future  is  still  plagued  with  the  idea  of  physical  perfection.  

This  idea  of  perfection  is  mostly  seen  within  young  adults  who  have  either  failed  

to  live  up  to  their  parents’  expectations  or  they  were  not  happy  with  their  

parents’  genetic  choices  at  birth.  These  young  adults  become  the  augmented  

cyborgs  of  fictional  stories  told  countless  times  in  the  media.  The  technology  was  

originally  developed  for  victims  of  sudden  unfortunate  accidents  that  left  them  

dismembered  in  some  aspect,  but  there  were  other  instances  where  laws  

allowed  modified  humans  the  right  to  alter  themselves  as  they  saw  fit  because  

the  choices  made  for  them  before  birth  were  not  their  own.  So  those  who  could  

afford  to  alter  their  organs  would  do  so,  but  as  with  most  societies  based  on  

capitalism,  there  were  those  who  could  not.  They  had  to  either  learn  to  accept  

their  original  form  or  find  other  means  of  accepting  their  present  existence  

through  coping  medication.  Yes…  stronger  forms  of  anti-­‐depressants  exist  in  the  

future  to  combat  depression.  It  was  all  a  façade…  lying  to  the  world  that  this  

technology  of  enhanced  beings  created  a  world  of  happiness  when  there  was  still  

ongoing  suffering.  However,  they  were  those  strong  enough  to  continue  their  

lives  through  other  means  such  as  religion  or  support  from  family  and  friends.  

The  future  is  not  always  bleak  as  some  would  make  it  out  to  be.  

This  fusion  technology,  which  grew  from  biological  and  cybernetic  technology,  

allowed  humans  to  alter  themselves  even  further  and  gave  rise  to  another  form  

of  enhanced  human,  an  Augmented  Human.    

 

 

The  End?  

 

The  fusion  technology  used  to  replace  dismembered  limbs  with  cybernetic  limbs  

is  a  powerful  technology.  It  continues  to  incite  much  debate  because  of  it’s  

potential  to  expand  an  individual’s  life  span.  With  it,  biological  organs  can  be  

grown  according  to  an  individuals’  body  type  or  manufactured  with  cybernetic  

technology.  But  this  is  where  our  race  begins  to  segregate  itself  from  being  a  

naturally  born  human  with  a  limited  life  span  to  a  semi  immortal  being,  which  is  

reminiscent  of  a  machine  in  both  divisions.  Replacing  biological  parts  with  new  

ones  is  the  equivalent  of  a  machine  replacing  it’s  dilapidated  parts.  But  I  know  

what  your  thinking…  this  extension  of  our  life  span  would  cause  an  alarming  

increase  in  our  population  on  the  planet,  but  as  mentioned  earlier,  we  live  in  a  

society  based  on  capitalism  and  as  we  all  know…  ‘Things  do  not  always  come  

cheap’.  Replacing  biological  parts  with  fresh  ones  are  far  more  expensive  and  

time  consuming  than  manufacturing  bionic  organs.  Human  tissue  must  be  grown  

using  the  same  DNA  or  risk  rejection  and  contamination.  All  blood  types  are  not  

the  same.    

This  brings  us  to  the  questionable  end  …  well  depending  on  much  you  earn  …  

this  concludes  a  typical  humans  life  cycle  in  the  future.  Now  I  know  what  you  

must  be  thinking,  how  is  it  I  know  so  much  about  our  history  and  future?  Well…  

you  could  say  I’m  a  pioneer.  I’ve  been  living  and  observing  what  has  taken  place  

over  the  last  few  centuries  on  our  planet.  And  how  is  it  I’m  able  to  send  you  this  

message  from  the  future…  well…  I  did  say  the  future  was  filled  with  technological  

advances  that  are  unimaginable.  In  any  case,  remember  my  words  and  receive  

this  message  with  an  open  mind,  this  is  not  a  warning,  nor  is  it  an  absolute  

forecast  as  we  all  know  how  quickly  the  weather  can  change.  

 

Your  present  is  my  past,  my  present  is  your  future.
