The year is 2085. The golden age of humankind had begun. Through decades of protests and revolutions, democracy spread across the world. National identity remained important, as did race and gender, but discrimination on those grounds had been mostly resolved. In the early 2000s, the dominant economic metric was GDP. But the people of developed nations, especially the Land of the free, awoke to the class war that had been waged on them decades prior. They realized: AI had given them the possibility of ease and security for all, but in past revolutions, they have wrongly chosen, instead, to have overwork for some and starvation for others¹. This time, they will choose correctly. They organized movements that reshaped economics to focus on wellbeing, ecology, and equity. Policies and conscience steadied progress while eliminating the possibility of a biologically-enhanced class² and the Last Capitalist³, as well as existential threats such as AI, pandemics, and climate change. Adults worked in fields they loved. No one wasted their talents wringing a few basis points off of market transactions. Young people went to school to discover who they were and what they loved. With the newfound idleness, people wrote, painted, wrestled, loved, and danced. More than ever. Many took on construction as a lifestyle, erecting cities of new aesthetics using specialized robots they programmed. Everyone rejoiced in a free gift from the sun.

Historians were curious about how humans had managed to work together to reach this point. They studied the early movements and found that many of their leaders were also members of Reckoners. Reckoners started with a group of people that loved getting the community out together to have fun as much as they could - massive snowball fights, backyard rollercoasts, cultural festivals. At the same time, they stood up against injustices and were determined to reinvent the status quo. Their emphasis on building communities at the intersection of technology, art, and voice elevated the collective unconscious. They inspired high school and university student chapters and helped the next generation educate themselves on the world's most important problems. Joined with other amazing communities, a formidable new wave had risen in America. The world was next!
