The work is done in the genre of mocumentary. Each hero of the series has his own story and all the stories are put together in a huge puzzle - the supposed history of the future.
Now bioengineering has become one of the most promising areas of science: - Biomimicry; - Bionics; - Biomimetics; - Neuroimplantation. But any technological progress is connected with changes in the social order and in social relations. Even now it is impossible to hide from progress and we have no choice, we just accept the rules of the game. In the paper we consider what will happen to humanity, the moment we change our nature and can abandon the Darwinian revolution. Ethical questions will arise: Do we have the right to create half-living creatures and use them for our own purposes? And who uses whom now, we them or they us? How will improved humans treat those humans who didn't agree to it, perhaps in the way we now treat animals? And what kind of world will it be after Homo Sapiens?
