It took a while    to get use to having my perspective darting around so quickly,    but my mind had finally adapted to it.  <\/p>\n<p>        Sneeze! A few days Mr. Anderson.    Don't worry, it's a positive virus, I'm origin zero. Then    you'll be one of us, welcome to the new global hivemind, we-I    always choose well. It will be unlike anything you have ever    experienced or imagined. Expect a mental call, anything will be    possible, said Kay, a future echo ... Kay Noble replied, then    collected the documents, velvet and all, and left the room    without a further word.  <\/p>\n<p>        Muffy the Time Traveling    Chihuahua Muffy was a loyal pack dog on the    locally collapsed time-day of his death, which varied in    fractal quantum probability across a multitude of bifurcated    futures or space-time universes.  <\/p>\n<p>        Lunch 2032 Her IQ was probably    skyrocket norm. It seems the gene engineers had given her both    great brains and beauty. She wanted to be a Terraforming    Research Scientist, but on Earth she would have to settle for    other work. Her parents had lost most of their money in a wild    Marsearth start-up investment, so she had to work her way    through the university, no one would give a genmod scholarship.    It was just plain and simple prejudice.  <\/p>\n<p>        Virtuality Zane Pax hid behind a large    bolder as the black alien warship flew overhead. NaHan    had swarmed the cities of the world laying waste to human    civilization. Humanity was on the endangered species    list, on our way out for good.  <\/p>\n<p>        The Alien Time-Traveler    Historian Mathew answers, Variations of me    exist in most all future branches. Thats really rare, and    thats why Im allowed to speak to you. To help you understand.    You see, those that are still basically human in the future    have great compassion. They want to help reduce the suffering.    Im here on their behalf to try and influence    things.  <\/p>\n<p>        The Galactic Culture Finally,    in order to survive the approaching technological singularity    and remove their aggressive and self-destructive evolved    behaviors, pre-type 1 species sometimes begin an extensive    program of self-initiated genetic re-engineering and    intelligence amplification (usually proceeded by development of    a global computing system -Internet).  Sometimes this is    successful, other times not.  <\/p>\n<p>        Lunar CityOutward space    exploration and expansion grew at a rapid pace, due to the    privatization of all space exploration and its subsequent    exploitation.  Corporations headed by forward    thinking executives now controlled access to space.     Spaceports have sprouted up all over the world,    giving average citizens access to affordable space travel.     Now space stations, moon bases and asteroid    factories, which provided most of the raw materials, have    become independent space communities.  Distant    science outposts have been constructed on the outer planets and    moons.  The solar system has become the playground    of humanity.  <\/p>\n<p>        VR Prototype Jason Chen bent    over in his subway seat to pick up a rarely seen plastic penny    he spotted face-up on the train floor.  A penny    existed today only to make exact change for those who still    stubbornly used physical money.  He didnt    understand why, but somehow its continued existence was    comforting for some.  Angling the lucky coin in his    fingers to see the three-dimensional head of Abraham Lincoln,    he noted the year on the coin was 2053, the year of his    birth.  <\/p>\n<p>        Dr. Xanoplatu Dr. Xanoplatu, an alien    anthropologist, historian, and time traveler, materialized on    stage wearing the body of his ancestors, a giant green Praying    Mantis with large yellow eyes and small black pupils.     He was speaking at a galactic cultural lecture,    inside a de-localized spherical space station, somewhere and    some when in a multi-versed space-time reality.  <\/p>\n<p>        Virtuality Mind Marcus replies,    Yes, you can assume Im crazy.  But, Im just    communicating to you through this mans body.  For    a short period of time, I can do this, without his knowing it.     When I leave and his consciousness re-awakens,    this memory will seem like a daydream to him.  <\/p>\n<p>        Resurrection Birth Jason awoke    to a static humming sound.It was so annoying,    grating on his nerves more than a badly tuned alarm    clock.He lifted his heavy eyelids to blinding    light, and out of focus images.His vision    slowly cleared and he realized he was inside a plastic coffin    thing.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read the original:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.webmac.com\/\" title=\"Transhuman Singularity - webmac.com\">Transhuman Singularity - webmac.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> A list of links to my science fiction short stories: I am a Hummingbird After my body died the surgeons put me in a hummingbird.
