Future's Past is the story of humanity from the near present to 2992 CE (corrected era). The primary narrator is Alicia Dunn recalling interviews she conducted with scientists, engineers, political figures, and everyday people. The story is subdivided into seven volumes.

Volume One, Ascendance, details humanity's mastery of biology and solar system colonization. Biological mastery frees humanity from the shackles of aging but leads to societal, political, and ecological strife. The colonization of the solar system serves as an outlet for these pressures. Still, an increasingly desperate population on Earth needs the resources being gathered by those inhabiting space leading to a system-wide powder keg ready to explode.

Alicia Dunn is a graduate student marrying synthetic biology with computational AI design to treat and cure disease and prevent ecosystem collapse. All is well until a disturbed, cult-like leader, Frances Caldwell, decides the biosynthesizers used in her research are dangerous and must be stopped at any cost.

Celine Delaire is CEO of the most advanced robotics company on the planet, and her revenues are falling. The advent of fusion energy has rendered her products useless, and she is re-directing her efforts to establish the space-based infrastructure that can nurture humanity off Earth.

Frank Arnold is a military man and astronaut. He is a good man at heart, but the plans of Admiral Mehmet Davis, who serves only Earth, will pit him against friends and colleagues, forcing him to choose a side.

Haru Saito is a mild-mannered inventor and mechanical genius. His true love is nature, and his dream is to preserve Earth's failing biosphere. His work, combined with those of his future wife, Celine Delaire, will preserve rare and dying ecosystems, and someday they will save humanity. Ascendance ends with the birth of a free spacer nation and an increasingly hostile populace on Earth.

Finally, in 2992 CE, Alicia and her daughter Renee prepare for Alicia's passage through the Bridge. Alicia claims that she is leaving the safety of the Commonwealth to escape boredom and find new adventures. But really, Alicia is trying to send a trapped evil as far from humanity as has ever been possible. Before, the prison she has placed it in fails. (This story will be concluded in Volume Seven.)

New chapters are released Tuesday and Friday.
