Unfettered Journey

“I want to know the truth. I want to know how and why.”

Joe Denkensmith, Level 42, vidsnap: Year 2161

Set in a richly envisioned future world, Unfettered Journey is the story of a man and a woman who find meaning in their lives. An AI scientist struggles to create robot consciousness. He travels to a small college to progress his quest, but instead finds love, a secret plot to control the world, and the answers to his fundamental questions—the nature of his own consciousness and free will.

The Future We Wish For, and That We Are Building

By Gary F. Bengier | April 1, 2020

On my blog, I’d like to curate a discussion about what the world might look like in the near future. I believe too many futurists go to extremes—maybe for shock value or to gain attention?
