Genetics Vs. Cybernetics :
Questioning of which is a superior design? Two philosophies: Can we use our unlocked knowledge about the natural evolutionary process (our genes) to give birth to a new type of humans or should we synthetically be creating the ultimate humans?

Artificial Intelligence vs. Human-Kind :
Finding the means of creating a world where AI's and Humans can co-exist. Is it inevitable that one will have to dominate the other? Are AI's just servants of their creators or can they serve a greater purpose? What will happen once an AI is more advanced than its creator?

Human Society and Legacy :
In this world there will those who seek to control human history and society. Given this capacity they seek to guide humanity towards their will. Is it right for a small group of individuals to decide the fates for all the rest of mankind?

Deus Ex Machina :
In particular, the idea how to represent the sum of all human accomplishments that will potentially be? If it was given a form what would it look like? How would a person recognize it. If it became an entity which wanted to be known? Idea that a god is not which who created the world but the sum of all what man-kind can accomplish.
