SCIENCE MEETS FICTION @GRAYSCOTT

WHAT IS SCIENCE FICTION? Science fiction has been asking us to question the future for a very long time. We have been telling ourselves the wrong story.

The future lives inside the neural networks of our brains. It is hidden in plain sight in the codes and patterns that have been here since the beginning of time.

@GRAYSCOTT

Technology is natural. It has always been here. It is a direct extension of our consciousness, and it will eventually inherit our minds.

As our digital consciousness expands, our digital space-time awareness begins shrink.

The future is impossible, so we must embrace the impossible.

“CYBRIDS”

This is the first generation to have a fully symbiotic biological, psychological, cognitive

and emotional relationship with the digital world around them. They are Cyber Hybrids.

DIGITIZATION OF EVERYTHING (DOE) Imagine a future where every sensorial experience is quantified, calculated, predicted and digitized. A virtual simulated reality that is indistinguishable from the reality we see around us now.

THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS

THE VIRTUAL WEB The web 3.0 will be a simulated 3D virtual reality filled with avatar replicas of our storefronts, our minds and our bodies. These avatars will greet our customers,

family, and friends when we are offline and record the interaction for later playback. Think of it as

SIMULATED REPRESENTATION

A VIRTUAL REALITY UTOPIAANY DREAM REALIZED, PARADISE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

We will use time dilation, the ability to speed up or slow down time, inside these advanced simulations. We will be able to pause, reverse, or fast forward.

We will become masters of time perception.

We may achieve digital longevity.

Real will become irrelevant.

"Simulation junkies" will spend most of their time in this digital reality. The simulation will be the preferred drug.

We will drift in and out of these worlds with ease. We will become indifferent to what reality we are in.

AGE REVERSAL

Harvard University researchers have completely reversed the aging process in mice. Researchers

have said this was the equivalent of making a 60-year-old person feel like a 20-year-old.

Is Scifi a self-fulfilling act? Are sci-fi writers and futurists interpreting the patterns of a determined future?
