The History of the Future

From Early Settlements in the Sol System to an Interstellar Civilization

A History Book

The history of the future told in many events, discoveries, and inventions in technology, economy, and society.

Hard SciFi

Based on science: futuorology, real physics, possible technology.

Interplanetary and Interstellar

Humanity expands into its solar system. The interplanetary civilization develops with inventions and discoveries, politics and intrigues. Interplanetary powers come and go.

Then the stars. Initially, FTL drives ships are slower than the speed of light and bold missions explore the unknown fringes.

Later, humanity is drawn into the dramatic development of its interstellar neighborhood and must learn the hard way, that stability is not a given.

Supernova

The first supernova withing reach. Countless visitors come to be there, when the big star explodes.

First Humanity

The shared history of humans and Kisori is much older than thought. 14,000 years ago, humanity betrayed the Golden Empire. And was terribly punished for it.

100 Things

The things we deal with on a daily basis shape our everyday life. They are often characteristic of their time. They show how people live and what's important to them. In fact, they are much closer to us than news reports, history book entries, and grand politics. That's why I want to show 100 objects from the next 1000 years, even if they are not always everyday items. Highlights:

2051 Neuro Implant
2071 Delivery Bot
2081 Coding-Kit
2091 Tree of Life
3296 Dragon Legends
