Good ideas, but underwhelming and scattered in execution. Honestly works much better as a repository of ideas, concepts and inspiration than a game. Ironically, it ultimately comes off as ""insufficiently advanced.""

Very imaginative in going so far in the future the culture shock hits, yet grounded in verisimilitude. Lots of in depth examples that really help understand the intended workings of the mechanics. Really evocative for sci fi fans. Can't wait to try it out.

This is simply one of the most insightful SF RPG I have come across. All too often SF games are near future and a bit dull. This deals with the far future and excels at strange but logical cultures and really extreme or bizarre situations. The system is a sophisticated story telling and conflict set of rules. Interesting, but not why I bought it. The depth in thinking how things might be, the illustrative stories and the plot ideas are fantastic. Never mind the system, buy it for the chrome and the love put into this vision of the future.

This game covers the time past the "singularity", a time hard to imagine. The rules are different than almost every other game; but so is the topic.

Give this a whirl if you want to explore "really high tech". I mean way out there. It could be a valuable supplement to any high tech game even steam punk.
