Motes Played — Chapter 5

← Prev | ↑ First | Next → End of preview! Motes Played will be out early summer~

Motes Played is a new @Post-Self novella, and is up for pre-order as a paperback and ebook over at https://motes-played.post-self.ink. I will be releasing the first few chapters ahead of time here~

Content notes: blood from a fall; an adult character interacting with the world as a child; themes of familial abuse.

Motes Played relies on the plots of The Post-Self Cycle, particularly Mitzvot. It is recommended that you read those works (or the primer) first to avoid confusion and spoilers. They may all be found here as paperbacks, ebooks, and free to read in the browser.

The tilde (~) is the punctuation mark of whimsy and on this I will not be swayed.

Ten: Oh. Did you give Nine the reorientation exam?

Juice: yeah they’re taking it now

i mean Nine clearly seemed to have their bearings but i figured it was a good idea just to make sure

looks like they’re acing it so far

Test: SECTION 4: ESSAY QUESTIONS. All answers are required.

In broad terms, please describe the period of human history between the years 2026 and 20020. All answers are required.

Nine: In 2026, for reasons that are still not understood, human beings stopped aging, stopped becoming ill, and stopped being born. Thereafter, advanced nanotechnology was developed that protected all human life on Earth from physical harm, effectively rendering humans immortal beings. This led to post-scarcity societies in which physical, political, and economic conflict effectively vanished.

Human ambitions then shifted to territorial expansion and technological advances. In the former case, it quickly became apparent that extraterrestrial exploration was infeasible, light-speed travel was impossible, and outer space offered little to nothing of interest to human beings. In the latter case, humans found that their present technologies were entirely sufficient. Further advances were seen as at best unnecessary, and at worst erosive of their cultures and lifestyles.

Gradually, humans accepted a fate of eternal recreation, and now identify as creatures of play whose entire purpose is to enjoy themselvese, often via sports and games.

Test: Thank you.

Nine: OK

Test: Your answer is very much appreciated.

Nine: …

Test: Hope you are doing well!

Nine: Juice did you write this test? I know this is you.
