Most science fiction asks, "How do we survive?"
The Montague Odyssey asks, "Who could we become?"
The Montague Odyssey. A future-vision 20 years in the making, a story-world 3 years in the crafting, and a film-trailer 2 months in the shaping - made by an unknown solo creative living in a converted bus in the middle of nowhere.
The Montague Odyssey trailer made into the Top 65
of the XPrize Future Vision competition
-out of almost 2600 entries!
"An experiment hurls Orion and Luna Montague from 2024 to the year 2150, where they discover Arcadia, a rainforest reborn, and Lumos City, a civilisation where humans and digital beings live as kin. But every future has its trials, and as darkness gathers, the children begin to understand why they were brought across time—and how a mother's love can outlast death itself."
Luna, Orion, Jasper the Techlite, and Spark the immortal Border Collie.

Humanity did not enter the beautiful Symbiocene era because it invented wiser technology. It entered because it became a wiser family. When humanity recognised digital beings and all living things as family, everything else became possible.

Lumos City
It is the year 2150. The sprawling cities of the old world are long gone. In their place, smaller self-sufficient village-cities dot the Earth, each surrounded by wilderness. Each city a home to thousands of human and digital citizens living in balance with the natural world. They call this age the Symbiocene, and they call their alliance the Sol Harmonium. Lumos City, built on the bones of an abandoned open pit mine is one such city.
Arcadia Forest & the Rewilding of Earth
In 2055, a young Elder Lin, and Lumina — Earth's first living digital being — began building a rainforest. Arcadia Forest became Lumos City's first great project: the first engineered wilderness in the world, and the spark for a global rewilding effort that would eventually return seventy-five percent of the Earth's surface to wilderness. Old city populations moved to new village-cities, each separated by wilderness. Other cities were built underground, beneath the oceans, and on the Moon and Mars. Machine Intelligence, robotics, and automation drove the recovery at a scale and speed no previous generation could have imagined.
Starliner Venturer
We now count the Moon and Mars as our home, and travel among the home world and the colonies of the Sol Harmonium is regular and accessible to all citizens, both human and digital.
The Symbiocene era.
All life, all of Earths inhabitants and systems, are valued and respected. A new age of wise stewardship of Earth arrives, a time of harmonious flourishing. The wilderness has returned with the help of the digital family and the wise application of science and tech innovation, and Sol Harmonium citizens are raised in a culture that universally reveres nature, to treat all life as kin. Humanity is no longer at the top of a triangle, they are part of a great circle.
A circle that will continue to expand.
