dystopianfuture science-fiction

The Garrets are safe for now, tucked away on their family farm hid deep in the Appalachia's.  Shad realizes this is a false reality, one that may crumble any day now.  Cavern City, only a few miles south is now considered a bustling town and safe haven for the human population, as long as Damon Brody can keep paying the tithes to the Syrrvadians. 
   This is a Earth set in the not too distant future where humans are now the mediocre and not the superior breed.  Amaranth, a new world government looks to thin the population with less than desirable humans and spread the trans-human movement.  Syrrvados is a new religion that demands the utmost loyalty and has found Christianity illegal.  Gladiator pits, Slavers, Hybrids, and Cyborgs litter the country side reeking havoc among the common humans.  All energy sources have been exhausted or collected by the Amaranth.  Those humans that have not been micro-chipped are considered rebels and have a treacherous road ahead of them indeed
   I am writing this episodic adventure as I go with a large plot line already developed.  I will publish chapter by chapter as I finish them.  These are usually first drafts and all input is appreciated.  I will be writing in third person limited and through many, many view points.  This is what I hope to be a very expansive world with new discoveries around every corner.All Rights Reserved

The White Singularity: A Choose Your Own Adventure by DocReVillaFel

You are Dr. Brent Phillips, scientist extraordinaire, and have explored all the frontiers on Earth. There's only one place you haven't been... the very center of our planet. Until now. What will you encounter on your way down? Extinct species? Impossible cosmic phenomena? Lost civilizations? There's only one way to find out... **Based on an ADRIFT text-based game that I wrote in my nonexistent spare time as an internist-in-training a LONG long time ago. **Don't expect anything to follow the laws of nature.

Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown) by CharlotteAshley

The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's SciFi Smackdown, a contest in which contestants write Science Fiction stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's host, @ForbiddenPlanet.

THE MAIN EVENT | Book 1 by rainixfreak

It's been exactly a hundred years since a nuclear explosion destroyed the entire earth, making it unable to live on it as the radiation would spread and rise quickly, becoming deadly minute by minute, killing half the lives on earth. Some of us got to survive with the help of the government which built an entire city that would protect everyone from the virus that appeared right after the radiation went away. The city was like a fortress, no one could enter and no one could leave...except the people executed who defied the government rules. But who thought that...together they might witness the end of their world?

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

Benefactors by TwinComics

These are the Benefactors. There is no leader, there is no mascot. Although, they are a team. They used to be three police officers and an engineer. Everyday people. The world we know takes a futuristic step in 2025. There are new lab experiments that can turn a human into something more. Now they can help in ways that were never even imagined. Are you ready to race through the space-time continuum, teleport to places unknown, never miss a shot, and spread ice and lava in a matter of seconds? Let's see if they can beat the odds against the toughest enemy this team will ever face! Written by TwinComics. Alright so this is the first book I've ever written, so it's gonna be kind of bad and sloppily put together. This is what trial and error are for, am I right? Huge thank you to Kiara0357 for the support in my writing! You made it possible through your comments and votes! And thank you to pedemonti95 because well, you made me get on here in the first place. Side Note: This story was written by my brother and I when we were 14. The plotline and the characters were made completely through our own design. The point of this story was not to create a great book, but instead, it was about us having fun writing it. While the storyline is all over the place, we thought that this was a great thing that we did together and I will never, ever change that. Comments ~"Still love the beginning."~ ~"Your story is coming along really well!"~

War: A Business by asiannibba

"Why we have gone to war? Is it because of fighting for a cause? To change the world?To rule the world? To be remembered in history? Or for pleasure or to make business out of it?"

change history yesterday by toulosereads

Helpful reminders as you read: (subject to change & be updated w/the release of chapters) Main characters: 1. Charlie (woman) - She has light features, recessive genes. She is a mistake in the genetic pool, yet b/c of her lineage she has all of the rulings of an aristocrat. 2. Aero (man) - Dark features, thick eyebrows. Colonel and Charlie's fiance. 3. Rhys (man) - Charlie's best friend. 4. Senator Holm (man) - One of many senators that work directly with President Malcolm Bouchard. 5. 273 (man) - Peat. Dark features. Chocolate brown curls. Tattoos whipped out of place. Emerald green eyes. Vocabulary: * Plebeian - a lower class individual, the lowest class. Marked by light physical features and high spirits! * Aristocrat - an upper class individual. Marked by dark physical features and perfect skin. *Peat - an individual that has both plebeian and aristocratic blood, usually from rape. Marked by a number on the side of his/her neck. * Defect - a derogatory name given to nobles when they appear less than average. * D.O.C. - the day of correction set to kill off those that don't look perfect * Corpse flower - a flower that has been rumored to possess the components to correct the genetic error found in Sybaran. * Silver knickle - currency in Nephraim * G-shot- the shot that corrects defects. * The Oval - is the center of the world, the government. President Malcolm Bouchard works here. Basis and facts throughout the story: Pieces from the Old World are forbidden. Those with lighter hair follicles and iris colors are considered problematic; skin tone is no longer the issue. Every race has the ability to be born with lighter features, so there's no prejudice against race. Just physical features. Sybaran is the continent; Nephraim (home village) , Salem (stricter division, where Aero was born), Mieich, and Shankrai, are the 4 subdivisions (countries) of Sybaran that we have so far.

After Dark by Boy_Who_Flys

In a society with no boundaries for hate, and endless restrictions for love, how is one to survive? Terrance Damon has endured the suffering of being gay in a world where public executions by citizens are necessary for being so, his entire life, and for most of it he knows how to work his way around and keep himself hidden. However, his willpower to exist this way runs short once on the brink of being outed and on the brink of love for another man. (This story is based off a dream of mine only a few years into the future where for some reason, being with the same sex is punishable by death, and there's a group called the, "E.O.H." (Extinction Of Homosexuals) Hellbent on enforcing that. Although this story is clearly fictional I will be including remarks and events that have happened to me or those close to me. I want to do everything in my power to prevent a story like this from coming true, because there are people suffering alike this. So please, take this story as a message of love, dearest readers.) (WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS EXTREME CASES OF HOMOPHOBIA/TRANSPHOBIA AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS, ALONG WITH INSTANCES OF MURDER, RAPE, AND DISEASE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
