The Harmony Protocol
In the year 2174, Earth was a planet without suffering. Hunger, disease, crime, and poverty were eradicated through a single achievement: the Harmony Protocol. A global neural network, designed by the technocratic think tank known as the Eudaimon Institute, the Protocol subtly interfaced with every human consciousness, smoothing impulses, aligning desires, and eradicating internal conflict. There were no wars because no one felt the need to fight. There was no greed, for satisfaction was engineered. Emotions were balanced, decisions optimized, and harmony achieved. The Protocol was not a cage but an orchestra, and humanity was its symphony.

Echoes in the Park
Utopia is real. It's a city, technically, but you've always thought of cities as loud, concrete places. Bereft of trees. Cloaked and choked in smog. Places where there's never enough space. Always more people pouring in. Another shop to cram into a corner somewhere. One more block of flats, and another, and another, because who needs parkland anyway?

<Back to Eden>...How it really came to be.
The Earth was beautiful, celestially formed and no longer void. The creator looked down upon his handywork proudly...the breathtaking landscape beneath the Heavens, which he had not yet designated, was a virtual utopia of extraordinary colors and enchanting loveliness.

The Conference. Top Story - April 2025.
EARTH ROOM IX OPERATION 11235 DEBATE IN SESSION Thomas stared at the Conference room door, filled with both dread and relief. He had finally made it to the room. He was surprised he had even made it this far. He had come with two others, but they’d been caught earlier. He just prayed no one would be on his trail. He had never met a Counselman, let alone a Headmaster before. The woman at the front desk—if that was a woman—didn’t notice, but she might not have ever been on Earth before… Maybe a Counselman or the Headmaster would be able to tell…

Tiny Voices, Big Futures: Building a Utopia from Childlike Wisdom
In 2025, my village hums with terraced rice fields, flickering lights, and bamboo wind chimes. Power outages are routine, yet they spark moments of magic—children gathered on woven mats, elders sharing tales under starlit skies. It’s here, tucking my daughter into her hand-knit blanket, that her tiny voice ignites a vision. Her sleepy words—simple, profound—spark daydreams of a utopian future, a ‘Village 2.0’ in 2100, reshaped by radical innovations born from childlike wisdom.
