A near future, a good one: a few generations from now, society is driven by rare mineral collection, for medicine and for compute, and has solved every problem but interstellar travel. All disease, aging included, is solved, and everyone is augmented with animal and plant genes.

Biology moves between species as carefully as words between languages: a monarch's compass, a squid's speed, a spiny mouse's healing. None of it works without a preserved Earth: every new modification comes from studying animals alive, in their natural habitat. At night the bed reads and heals the body while you sleep.

Compute through data verification systems resolved AI hallucinations, and everyone wears personalized AI-powered AR contacts.

And a matching system places each person in the life that fits best. It reads their skills and essence, tracked through brain uploads to the chip inside a box every household keeps, and matches them to their job and to where in near-Earth they belong. Nefeli's box is carved from nepheline. Because of the match, every job is fun: school doesn't look like school, homes are grown as much as built, and most work is in Earth and space colonization, with asteroid mining through VR games. The game in the trailer is being built for real: an MVP for a similar game is already built.
