The last star is death. All that is left is our losing fight against entropy, a fight you can only lose unless you find a way to break the laws of thermodynamics. The endless night has arrived. We only have our some of the reserves we have accumulated for trillions of years, yet it is not enough and we lost some of them along the way. Heat Death is coming.

Brave New World already exists. It's a supers game. I have a hardcover copy sitting a meter away.

As for your question, personally, I like the idea that the world is now basically terraformed to humanity's specifications, so food is no issue, but the world still has problems despite hunger, thirst, and sanitation being eliminated, because people are tired of bread and circuses. A world that's apparently healthy but is the equivalent of a philosophical zombie. Earth is dead, but we live on in a fake utopia carved out of its corpse, a meaningful life still evading most of the population.

The other idea I liked is lifespan as currency. With the power of immortality and a world where food is no object, what else is there to bargain with?

Living in the ruins of a Dyson sphere.

It doesn't even qualify for free shipping. Just save your money and get standard.

Or hell, just read it for free. It's not like huxley is getting royalties from it.

>>54738848 I think that you two misinterpreted my post. I wasn't talking about the game. I meant to say it in a literal way.
>>54738848 that's some nice question, isn't it? I dare to say, zardoz-ish play?

Through genetic engineering, humans become split into two: A small minority of biologically immortal rulers, and the vast majority of sexless clones who unconditionally obey the former turning humanity into, essentially, a hive species. Everyone is happy with this arrangement because the latter are told to like it. Even when two of the former settle their arguments by throwing millions of lives into a meat grinder of total war, the latter is convinced the former love them with all of their heart and only want what's best for them.
