No Humans Required

The population of earth has reached twenty-two billion people with both food supplies and housing predicted to be unable to keep up with increasing demand. The world is strictly controlled by one elected senate government called the Supreme World Senate. The guiding principle is “Human safety first.” After the Transformation that gave total power to the Senate, the genius inventor and entrepreneur Durant develops a powerful graphene brain for his robots. He produces hundreds of millions of mobile working machines to do all the necessary labor on the earth while the government provides an income and housing for all humans. Advanced cell phones issues to the entire population can instantly identify each individual with their DNA. These phones become the people’s identification. Durant sees the need and wants to establish humans in other solar systems on a new planet where no robots are allowed and sets about to assemble a team of gifted scientists.
