futurism
Eus Ex is a first person roleplaying game. Like morrowind, it has a large community of players that continue to enjoy and modify the game. The story centers around a series of conspiracies to consolidate power and control human destiny. Your character is an augmented human with powerful abilities provided by nano-machines in your body. We're now in the 10th anniversary of the game's release. Perhaps it is time to revisit the game, but this time with some nice mods to update it to current standards.
I read a really interesting article in the NYTimes about the Singularity University and its creator, Ray Kurzweil. I've always been completely fascinated with the idea of Singularity, and the increasingly closer future. That's why this article - in the NY TIMES no less- is important. These ideas are more mainstream than ever, the most important people in power are paying attention, the most important people in industry want to know what it takes to get there. And why? because the technology we're now looking at is at the cusp of conquering death, fear, famine, poverty, and illness.
