Future

[close] This group is actually based off a dream I had a few nights ago (December 20th 2022) and it was weird. Anyways- ------------------------------------------------------------------- In the near future people have found a way to live forever and stay the same age. Unfortunately that meant that the world was overpopulated so a new law was enforced. Children, babys, and kids are illegal. If anyone under the age of 18 has been spotted then they would be taken away to a facility called Forbidden Runaway's . This company only has one building and is the biggest building in the world. Once kids are sent here then they are sent to a room. This room is where a machine cuts all your hair until your bald, puts a aging liquid in you (this liquid makes you grow older the more you stay in iced water), and puts a tracking device in you. After you are sent to an "Orphanage" which has a ice pool in it and many rooms. As the children stayed here they had to go into the pool for an hour each a day as the Caregivers happily watched the children grow old and die. Now who will you be.

[close] Have you ever wondered what happened to the Time Traveller in HG Wells, The Time Machine? Have you ever imagined the year time-span of 1895 to 802,701 AD? Have you ever thought about the Eloi and Morlocks? Have you ever wanted to read about a complex world? Let's discover it together. I am H.M. Holzman Author of Distorted Time: The Cydonia Paradox, Part of a new Trilogy that is on Amazon that I am developing.

[close] The only way to know the future is by being aware of the past, the present, and its trends. Since we know we can't see the future, at least we can guess and narrow down our forecasts - but to do that, we need knowledge. We create this reading group to fill the gap between where we are now and the times to come. We aim to get a broader perspective, a bigger picture, a bird's view. A reading group focused on utopias and dystopias that make us think, books and essays that put us aware of our environment, futuristic innovations, and tales from the past, that teach us how and why the things we have today are like they are, and maybe help us to know how to change them. The group proposes to read around one book or essay (article, interview) per month, ~12 books in total. Books about finance, history, political and philosophical questions. Books about happiness and how to live a better life. Are these the tools to survive in this information society? We think so, if you don't agree, join the reading club and prove us wrong! Welcome to the future! FRC
