After a millennia of fighting and sometimes losing, the American government begins to advance in their technological prowess.  Scientists begin to conduct tests on  the citizens in an attempt to convert them into murdering machines.  They begin to call these "Hosts" due to the use of humans as hosts for the mechanical and biological engineering.  Along with these tests comes a price, however.

The Great Bifurcation, The Divided World by moraleslary

The Core Premise: Over 750 years, genetic engineering technology evolved from medical treatment into comprehensive human enhancement, creating "The Great Bifurcation"-a fundamental divide between: Naturals (unmodified humans) who maintain traditional reproduction Designed (genetically modified humans) who undergo extensive pre-birth optimization The split occurred gradually across five eras (2090-present), beginning with disease elimination and expanding into full enhancement. What started as a medical choice became an identity, then a culture, and finally nearly separate species. Each population developed distinct philosophies, social structures, and ways of life: Naturals value authenticity, diversity, and earned achievement but face economic disadvantage and discrimination Designed prioritize optimization and progress, enjoying health/longevity advantages but struggling with uniformity and existential questions The populations coexist in complex interdependence-legally protected but socially segregated, economically interconnected but culturally divided, cooperating on some fronts while conflicting on others. The Central Tension profound questions about humanity, authenticity, equality, and the ethics of genetic modification without taking a clear side, presenting both populations as having legitimate perspectives and real costs to their choices. Multiple emerging trends (genetic divergence, political tensions, space colonization, a "Third Way" movement) leave the ultimate fate of divided humanity uncertain.

A World's Bounty by MyMintyWinters

The time has finally arrived, where the earth has reached its limit. Food, water, and land, all luxuries we've taken for granted, have been slowly looming down on us as a possible issue of the future. But that was just it. An issue of the future. So we ran and ran until we were backed right into a corner. The future has now become the present, and we can no longer run. So how does humanity respond, when it's very existence is threatened? Does it respond with words? With ideas and theories? But what if that doesn't work? Does it respond by blade? How will humanity take on its biggest enemy yet... itself.

GENELOCK by AlisaClaus

In 2098, humanity has unlocked genetic customization. Babies are no longer born - they're engineered. Intelligence, beauty, strength, even loyalty - all selectable traits. The world is split: • The Pureborn (natural humans) - banned from most top jobs • The Genemade - modified elite, flawless in body and brain A rebellious 17-year-old girl, Kaia, raised believing she's Pureborn, is caught in an illegal DNA scan. The test reveals she's not only Genemade... but secretly created by a rogue scientist who encoded a genetic kill switch that could wipe out the entire next generation of modified humans - using her blood. Now she's hunted by biotech corporations, rebel Purists, and a mysterious black-ops team sent to retrieve her - dead or alive. With only a discarded ex-military Genemade bodyguard and a tech-savvy Pureborn hacker, Kaia must uncover who made her... and decide if the future of human evolution should live or die with her.

Thicker Than Water Vol: 1 by Wavy31

After what some may call a massive human extermination, life expectancy on earth is slim to none and whatever is left is basically hopeless. Survivors have split into factions and are forming rival gangs in which they are disappearing at exponential rates due to government kidnappings. Rumor is, the government is planning a meta human attack by altering the dna of those who've been taken. Once word is out everyone has to decide whether gang related battles are more important than life itself as they know it. If that isn't enough they join forces with omniscient beings, extraterrestrials, and some beings that cant really be put into one category. They find that the government isn't all laws and science and that the battle they're facing is way more complex than they could have ever imagined.

StarCraft - Survival by Obsidian_Thirteen

In a distant future where a handful of far-flung human colonies are lorded over by a bloated, inefficient government, something dark looms just over the galactic horizon. When Sergeant Dalton was dumped in the wastelands of a backwater colony world, he was happy to fade into obscurity. He'd fought for it all. For duty, for honor, for justice, for money. In the end, what did it matter? Now, bitter and broken, he wants to be left alone. But that all changes when he finds himself in the midst of an invasion from not one, but two brutal alien races. With a half-psychotic best friend and a mysterious telepathic assassin riding shotgun, Dalton soon finds himself not just struggling for survival against insurmountable odds, but acting as an uneasy leader to the scattered survivors of the ongoing conflict.
