Futurism (Future)
Science fiction and futurism are very similar gaming settings. Both transport the player to the future of humanity or to a completely different imagined world, whose inhabitants have advanced far beyond modern humanity. Science fiction allows authors to set aside some laws and conventions of the real world, enabling them to create new races, technologies, and magic. Futurism, on the other hand, focuses solely on technological achievements, completely rejecting humanity and the social qualities inherent to people.
