25 Sub-faction cards
In the Future Now Universe, five factions fight over who controls humanity's future. Each believes their vision will result in humanity's salvation - at least how they define it. However, these factions are far from one united monolithic group. Each faction comprises five sub-factions.
The Ecclesia
A secret society consisting of hundreds of the solar system’s wealthiest, brightest, and most powerful people. The purported goal of the Ecclesia is to work together to "guide" and "maintain" humanity. Learn more about the Ecclesia.

The Transhumanists
The Transhumanists are a diffuse faction with varying ideologies that ultimately believe in one thing: the future of the human race does not exist in the human form. For "humanity" to survive, it will need to become an altogether different species. The machines will save us because we will be the machines. Learn more about the Transhumanists.

Have we missed any sci-fi character tropes? Who should we feature next?
The Paradisians
The Paradisians operate on the belief that we have the technology and the processes to create a sustainable society right now. In fact, they believe that inequality has never been a technological problem, it’s a societal one. If we chose equality and sustainability over greed then the world could be changed in a generation. But we have to commit to that choice because no one is going to make the world better but us. Click here to learn more about the Paradisians.
The Off Worlders
The Off-Worlders believe that the future of humanity does not reside on Earth but in the stars. The Earth is a doomed planet and trying to save it is pointless. The only rational approach for continuing the human race is to push the boundaries of space exploration and find new homes. Click here to learn more about the Off Worlders.
The Traditionalists
The Traditionalists feel that the world is changing too fast. They believe we must look to the past to secure our future, emphasizing family, faith, and strong leadership. These three tenets will guide us to a safe and prosperous future. Click here to learn more about the Traditionalists.
