2052: “One World, One Nation.”

In 2052, the globalization revolution enhanced human race development. The world’s leaders agree to share all resources, including education, media, technology information and natural resources. The “One world, One nation” slogan is massively spreading around the globe. The world has become peaceful, with no more wars, discrimination, poverty, and language barriers. At the same time, the world’s development has significant growth.

Education becomes free, and every individual can learn knowledge through the “world’s shared educational technology library” with AI and virtual assistance. The ultimate goal is that Individuals are born to serve and contribute to the society most efficiently.

This is also the core of the project “Destiny,” a science program supported by the one-nation government to test the DNA of every newborn child around the globe to find the best career path for this child. Every child will be designed to learn the subjects or study fields based on their genes to maximize their working ability. To achieve this goal, the one nation government will shorten the study period by eliminating liberal arts education so that education only focuses on practical skills building.

In addition, the effectiveness of the project saved much time and individuals could serve and contribute to one nation in approximately 10 years. Since everyone in the world is organized according to their function, the world has no crime, poverty, and hunger; at the same time, the world is functioning at its all-time fast pace.

Dystopian:

The “Lab”

A lab was discovered in the middle of the south pole where “unfunctional people” are locked up. The nation called them “the madness individuals” who experienced mental illness or low productivity due to their workload. Once the employer discovers any employee with the potential of being unable to work, they will report to one nation’s lab department, and those individuals will be sent to the south pole lab. At the same time, anyone who cannot adapt to the high efficient society will also be dumped in the lab. “They cannot work or contributes to this world anymore; therefore, they are useless to our society.” says the lab department official. What is this lab? What are the things the lab will do to those people?

The lab is used for experiments on testing new drugs, vaccines, and medications, and the research subjects are those people who have been sent here. Can they be released or set free? Unfortunately, the answer is no. They will be forever locked up as testing animals and surrounded by a robot army. According to the one nation government, individuals with emotional issues or inefficient working abilities are no longer the citizen of this world; they cannot contribute to the growth or development of one nation. The last thing they could do is sacrifice themselves to be the testing or research object to contribute to science and technology or educate the next generation.
