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 Transhumanists
The Transhumanists are a diffuse faction with varying ideologies who all 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. Will you join them in taking the next step up the evolutionary ladder?
