H+ Warns Us of Future Transhumanism

Bryan Singer hasn’t given up, not even after releasing perhaps the best bit of period piece mutant love story in X-Men: First Class. He’s been busy at work on a new series that will be airing on the Internet sometime this year we hope as there’s been no official release date yet and it looks pretty complete to me.

The trailer paints a what if scenario in which humanity has finally found a way to have themselves wired to the Internet 24 hours a day…all without personal computers or even ridiculous head gear. Instead, people will connect through a direct mind link that is possible through a miniscule implant that essentially turns your whole mind into an Internet device.

I think that the trailer does a really good job on letting us know the premise, I only wish that it weren’t so transparent in their message. I mean, we’ve already been subject to this material before. Did anyone even watch Futurama or that second modern Appleseed movie?

Besides all the tried and tested story points, I give this series credit for looking as good as it does without being a major motion picture. It should be an interesting watch to say the least.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
