Transhuman Stories

Three hundred years after Earth’s sentient internet takes the planet into Singularity—and out of spacetime—to avoid a sun going supernova ahead of schedule, the fleeing Martian colonists have found another kind of liberation. Using space warping ships they spread their seed across Andromeda. But if Frakas, the genius bioengineer who created a new Cambrian explosion of humanoid life, and the first of the hundred year men, clones designed to uplift souls, were enough to see them through the first leg of their journey, they are not around to be leaned on anymore. So begins the second trilogy of The Hundred Year Men saga, WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA, and the reign of Dargan, the second clone. But will the ingenious tactics of Dargan’s warlords be enough to unseat the powers threatening the empire from within as well as from without? Or will these highly evolved humanoid species merely use their genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make better war on a scale never before imagined, using imaginative methods only such technological breakthroughs—not to mention sprawling space armadas—could accommodate? --------------------------- note: the three separate trilogies comprising the Hundred Year Men saga do not have to be read in order.

Who can really say what is good and what is evil when the line between the two is so thin?

2124 - Neo Paris, independent city-state of Western Europe, has survived the climate chaos by building an immense dome of steel-glass. Mechanized and vertical, it has structured itself around monumental towers, where the powerful live. In this confined universe, twenty million Neo-Parisians lead an unbridled digital existence, guided by algorithms and assistants. The bionet implant, a device stemming from nanotechnologies, merges the real and the virtual within each of them. However, under the digital suns of the New Reality, tensions are escalating: rivalties among clans divide the Council of the Hundred; the Opus, guardian of the bionet implant and its network, is suspected of the worst; Low Tech, the crypto-libertarian nebula fighting for a free bionet, becomes more radical. The devouring ambition of two men will strike the crisis and set in motion the deadly machinery of revolution. Plunged into chaos, the entire city will have to stand up and fight. Everyone will have to face themselves, their dreams, their ghosts, or their destiny...

Less than forty years into the future, most of mankind has elected to upload themselves to digital nirvana, where they can live as many lives as they care to in parallel, in as many different fantasy worlds as they desire. A small percentage of humans, however, are loath to give up the mortal coil. These last holdouts are the escapees from the future. The question is, for how long? Will Mother, the sentient internet, be content with gentle prodding to upgrade and uplift? Or will she resort to more coercive means? Has she already, unbeknownst to the final holdouts?

The year is 2079. Science and technology triumphed over nature; to majority of humanity, there's no such thing as pure magic and guardians of nature. Mega corporations and nanomachines reigned over society. But when Vincent Uy, a bartender in the tavern Kaluwalhatian, encounters a mystical, amnesiac woman named Maria, his everyday life takes a sharp turn... NOTES: - The most accurate genre for this work is science fantasy, but since it's a story about diwata and Filipino myths in a cyberpunk setting, I decided to put it into fantasy for now. :) - Updates (hopefully) every Tuesday/Wednesday.

Six hundred years into mankind’s unexpected exodus from Earth’s solar system due to a prematurely exploding sun, humanoid species have spread far and wide to form a trans-galactic empire. This is in part due to the pioneering genius of Frakas and his bioengineering prowess which allows humanoids to accommodate to new planets readily. It is also secondary to special pod ships and spirit ships left behind by long dead civilizations that allow for teleportation across massive chasms of spacetime. But the empire is torn. War rages in four sectors. The wargods governing each sector want to unite the entire kingdom under one banner, theirs. But each of the sectors has unique challenges and pitfalls that stymie the other warlords, maintaining a stalemate seemingly without end. Enter Raikin and his entourage of followers. In his teens, he is the youngest of the hundred year men to intervene in celestial matters, and he may also have his hands the most full. Will he and his followers be enough to upset the stalemate and bring peace to the universe? Or will the intense fusion of cutting edge science and magic he introduces to the equation simply spread these battles beyond this universe into parallel universes, and the multiverse as a whole? More ominous still, there appears to be outside forces influencing matters in the four sectors beyond anyone’s knowledge or ability to grasp. Some of the tech bequeathed to them by long dead civilizations may have a life and a mind of its own, begging the question, are these distant parties relegated to history, or just to a dimension beyond their current reach?
