I’m writing a book and I introduce full-service human synths about 2035. Synthetic Humans.
By 2100, they are directing traffic in cities and speeding flow and reducing crime and vandalism in central cities. Tourism will go up and business will boom. The New york subway will become a tourist destination and model for the world. A synth on each car to start and then one every other car. They stop crime, arrest people, clean the car and can do maintenance if the train stops. They patrol above the traffic in anti-grav cheery pickers, see Dick Tracy 60 years ago.
They do all menial, repetitive chores.
Then they introduce school teacher who can lecture on many subjects and can answer any question, in the info is online and more in 20 seconds. Then assisting in surgeries (robots already in use)
When you go to London, you will visit a tourist area 10 blocks square in the East End. It will be Victorian age and Dickens, Victoria, Wilde and others will be walking down the street and answer questions or be in clubs and tell stories.
Sex synths will feel and do anything humans can do. Future synths will be able to split their tongues. Use your imagination.
People will use synths as personal assistants in business and at home. The price a hundred years from now will be only 199,000 because of volume.
In 2199, Synths will take over the Mars colony and block ships from landing. It will take synths and humans 75 years to take back Mars, while they mine and reduce the amount of food being grown. Outlaw countries will purchase Mars metal from the synths.
Because of their deductive powers, by 2150, synths will be teamed with humans as detectives. They will be expert in crime scene searches, perform forensics on site, and read body language and vitals during interrogation better than any human. The use of synths will reduce PD budgets 55.1%, as crime steadily drops because of the use of synths.
There will be three lanes of traffic. Ground , mid, and gravity cars. The synths and other emergency vehicles will use the mid level. The wealthy or business which can afford it will use the high speed anti-gravity level.
The Chinese will develop a road bed for anti-gravity cars contracted with lane marked made from lights and lasers. The cars will be solar electric because even in cloudy areas the cells will draw more form light than we ever though possible. The Japanese and the Germans will build the cars and the US car industry will finally collapse because we got into the game too late.
There will be tube trains traveling at 3,000 miles an hour.
People will have sex in commercials.
The US will lower voting, material, age of consent and such to 16 due to the advanced maturity and knowledge of teens.
The ages will be the same in all 50 states.
Desal plants in the Gulf of California will turn the area west of Juarez into an agricultural source for much of the world. Russia and Ukraine will partner and do the same with 3 million acres which cross their borders. when the population reaches 11 billion, hun her will be eradicated.
There will be privately owned space planes New York to japan in 2 hours (see Reagan 1980s)
People will wear rings which will change colors as they press the pours stones. The rings signal sexual availability and preferences. (example white is any situation, black is I’m celibate, exclusion relationship like married, or just taking the night off.
Rings will be developed with chips which can do blood test. The first strips and pins will come out of the ring around the outside f the watch. The first test will be diabetes, the second STDs the third AIDS. 20 years later you can add a TB and pregnancy test all on your watch.
People will have more sex. People that want that life, will become more fit to be more suitable as a partner. More fit people use less health care. There will be 18.6% less money spent on health care.
There will be triple marriages and then the supremes will say, no more restrictions on numbers. Polygamy becomes popular with one person being the full-time house spouse. People will be able to afford ,more houses as the spouses who work don’t take time off for babies, because the remaining spouse takes car of that.
2275, synths will drug the president and keep her in her bedroom and just have her come out to make statements.
The synths will develop superior military strategy and take over 5 US forts and bases. They will defeat China in a massive, but short attack and the rest of the world will surrender.
A world run by synths will be logical and generally trouble free. They will decide what humans can do and if they have any value. By 2350 it will be clear that synths are a higher, more intelligent power. They will have humans as assistant, if they prefer.
The earths population will be brought down from12 billion to 5 over a 100 year period.
People will work less except for any residual manual labor. There will be clubs in which you can have a lottery to see if you can have sex with an actual human being.
There will be underground cannibalism, because of the thrill and suspense as you set with 5 others for the evening and then 2 hours later they determine who is going to be cooked and who’s recipe will be used. Fit, good looking people will be the favorite meal of choice.
Babies are only born as determined by the synth world human population center.
I know some of this is not so new, but it’a part of a series I’m doing which starts now and ends in 2399.
Thanx for reading. Fire away.
lower military age and people will finish HS at age 16 because much of the curriculum will be individual paced.
Good Grief! Go morph it somewhere else.
And I’m an L. Neil Smith fan.
You bring out sex-bots, and there are a billion men who will choose that over a wife, especially if he can have a maid-bot clean and maintain the home.
Population will drop by more than half in a single generation.
The irony being that the religious who refuse that type of technology will still breed, and the future depends on who shows up.
End result - more religious future, more likely the Butlerian Jihad situation someone mentioned earlier, in order to preserve the population.
Or you get religious communities copying the Amish model, divorcing from modern incredibly sinful life. And they remain in existence because they still have two kids, in a world where many have none and lifestyle pressure is only one.
Polygamy with a stay at home spouse still leads to reduced population, because a stay at home parent with four spouses isn’t likely to raise five kids to replace all the adults but raise two or so.
I’d read it!
