All Tomorrows	comment	All Tomorrows: A Billion Year Chronicle of the Myriad Species and Mixed Fortunes of Man is a 2006 science-fiction book by C. M. Kosemen (a.k.a. Nemo Ramjet), with a heavy focus on speculative evolution. The story begins in the near future, as burgeoning population pressures force humanity to terraform and colonize Mars. After a brief but violent civil war between the two planets, the genetically engineered survivors begin a new wave of colonization, spreading across the galaxy. Everything is looking up for the human race... until the colonies encounter the Qu, technologically advanced aliens on a religious mission to remake the universe. Although humans fight valiantly, the Qu easily overpowered humanity; as punishment, these aliens decide to genetically modify the survivors, turning most of them into mindless, animalistic creatures before departing.Then things get really weird.Can be read online here. The original PDF version can be accessed via the Wayback Machine. The author's DeviantArt is here.Compare and contrast Last and First Men, to which it is in many ways the Spiritual Successor.

All Tomorrows / int_109b036e	type	Abusive Precursors
All Tomorrows / int_109b036e	comment	Abusive Precursors: The Qu transformed humans into beasts (and in some cases genetic abominations for groups the Qu took a particular dislike to, such as those who would become the Colonials), and then left the galaxy. The Machines took this to an even greater extreme, modifying their victims to a far greater degree and reigning much longer than the Qu. While the Star People were mostly benevolent, it is noted that they did wipe out alien ecosystems to replace them with their terraformed ones. This is one of the many reasons the Qu took extreme offense to them and warped them to fill vacant niches in some cases.

Despite having human-like sentience, the Saurosapients are the only species in The Alliance between the majority of post-humans to not have, well, human ancestors, since the Lizard Herders are stunted, never re-evolving intelligence and the lizards that co-existed with them evolved into what they once were. Still, they are still considered "human" enough to be counted alongside the other evolved Post-Qu humans.

Since he narrates the history of humanity a billion years after the fact, the information can only be so accurate, like any historical analysis.

All Tomorrows / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
All Tomorrows / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Pterosapiens are short lived allegedly because flight and sapience cannot be balanced. But in real life highly intelligent birds like corvids and parrots have lifespans comparable to humans, and birds and bats generally live longer on average than similar sized flightless mammals, likely due to metabolic quirks precisely because they need extra juice to fly. A more plasuible justification could possibly be the "square-cube law", where their bodies grow faster than their mass. Without gravity holding back the growth of the brain, the Asteromorphs are said to have larger and more complex thoughts than anything their human ancestors could manage. A physically larger brain is only useful up to a certain point; after that, it takes longer to get a signal through the sheer volume of brain tissue and it actually makes someone dumber, not smarter. Of course, the Asteromorphs may be aware of this and live in a totally different timeframe than the rest of post-humanity. Given that they're patient enough to observe the galaxy for millions of years, it's possible that they live for hundreds or even thousands of years, so the reduced speed at which their brains function is of little concern to them.

All Tomorrows / int_317388f4	comment	Humans Are Survivors: The Spacers/Asteromorph exemplify this in spades. Unlike other human species, who fell to the Qu and had to rebuild their civilization, the ancestors of the Spacers successfully evaded the Qu and never got changed into beasts. They did divert significantly from the human form later on, but it was done out of willing genetic-engineering rather than forced modification. After the Qu left and the Machine Empire replaced them as the resident genocidal threat, it was the Asteromorph who made a stand and destroyed them, saving the remaining organic humans in the process. In the aftermath, they took on an active role in the recovery effort and created god-like entities to rule over the remaining humans, thus achieving galactic unity. The civilization they built was so powerful that it eventually managed to catch up to and destroy the Qu.

The Modular People are walking colonies of smaller organisms, all of which carry out a specific task. The Amphicephali are snakes with heads on both ends. They don't get in arguments though, because it's the smaller body inside the gullet that does the talking. Bonus Points for actually being an alien, instead of a human descendant. Later post-humans look nothing like their ancestors. The Terrestrials take much more after the Asteromorphs with their multiple limbs, for example.

All Tomorrows / int_372bc105	comment	Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Ultimately, and despite what it may initially seem, the work leans into idealism both as a Speculative Fiction book and as an In-Universe Fictional Document. After spending the entire work chronicling countless wars and atrocities over the course of endless eons, the author emphasizes that the lesson that should be taken away from all this is that blind pursuit of nonexistent ideals and dogmas leads to destruction of both the self and other species, as was the case with both humanity and the Qu, and that the important, immortal evidence of these species' existences are ultimately the individual daily lives of each of its members. It's not clear what civilization is like by the time of the document's writing billions of years into the future, and whether or not the author's views are common, but the fact that there is someone around to say them and spread the message that one should "Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows" is at the very least a comforting ray of hope.

The Colonials put up the most resistance to the Qu invasion, as punishment they were turned into living filters for Qu waste. And they were left with their eyes and minds intact, to suffer for ''forty million years''. When the Qu left, most of them looked forward to extinction. Ironically, they had one of the better outcomes; their evolution eventually led to them developing symbiotes to replace their missing limbs and other parts, and they became one of the stronger post-Qu human offshoots. The humans on one planet were divided into two categories. One was lobotomized genetically, but left essentially human. The other was turned into parasites designed to torment their relatives for forty millions years!◊.

Later down the line though, it turns out Humans Are Survivors and not even millions of years can stop us from resurfacing again and again, with the story taking on a much more documentary tone, if a surreal one. Eventually, humanity overcomes The Qu and their defeat is nothing more than a footnote in the story.

All Tomorrows / int_627f7c90	comment	The Star Men seeded a galactic empire, which fell to a greater power, the Qu. Over the course of the next hundred million years, the mutated survivors that were fortunate enough to evolve back into isolated societies formed the Second Empire (though in practice more of a Federation) through dialogue and political unity. The Gravital came knocking and ended the Second Empire, starting the Machine Empire. During the Qu Invasion, scattered Star Men refugees who took to deep space as a means to evade the Qu, eventually evolving into the Spacers, and eventually the Asteromorph Empire, which was contemporaneous and coterminous with the Second and Machine Empires, though focused in deep space and outer systems while the latter two were focused more on planetary territory. Seeking a means to bandage over internal conflict, the Machine Empire declared war on the Asteromorph Empire, and the deadlock lasted up to a few million years, and ended with the Asteromorph's toppling the Machine Empire. Transfigured and unable to ignore the planets anymore, the Asteromorph Empire was now the New Empire, and even that faded away in time.

The Gravitals saw the world this way. The biological species, though being their taxonomic cousins, were seen in a much more mechanistic view; they were seen not as equals, but more akin to animals and a mess to be cleaned up. The author warns the reader that while it would be easy to see the Gravitals as evil, they were people first, with their own families and circles of friends, and they just saw biological life as an unneeded luxury. Their entire crusade to clean the galaxy of most organic life wasn't borne out of malice, but they saw it the same way an engineer tears down an abandoned building.

They felt that it was their right to take living creatures of all stripes and reshape them into things the Qu saw as pleasing or as proper. When they encountered humanity, they exterminated the baseline Star Men, and punished the survivors for resistance and replacing the native ecosystems by leaving humanity's survivors as animalistic or otherwise primitive new species. The Gravitals saw themselves as the true heirs of humanity. As such, they didn't see their cousins in the other Human Subspecies as equals. The author goes out of his way to humanize the Gravitals, noting that this wasn't out of hatred or malice, they just didn't see their cousins as peers or as worth keeping around. So, they waged a genocidal war to cull the leftovers of a past age. The only ones who were spared from this genocidal war were the Bug Facers, who were kept for experimentation and modification on far greater levels than even the Qu did to humanity; and the Asteromorphs, who were even more technologically advanced and uninterested in their planetbound cousins so not considered worth the effort until the Gravital leadership needed an external force to unify their empire. The Bug Facers themselves also count.

All Tomorrows / int_90abf35b	comment	Formerly Sapient Species: After the Qu conquer humanity, they transform the surviving humans into beasts as a grotesque punishment for their perceived crimes. The results are tremendously varied, including titanic elephant-like creatures, bat- and pterosaur-like fliers, various aquatic strains, ferocious predators and tick-like parasites. Many died out after the departure of the Qu, but others survived to form complex ecologies. Some of these post-humans eventually re-evolve sapience and rebuild a new galactic civilization, but others do not: One population was genetically modified to never be able to develop sapience again and became domesticated pack animals to their own former livestock, a species of large lizards which independently developed sapience. The mantelopes were unique in being left their sapience, but were modified to be essentially human ungulates with no grasping limbs. This left them entirely unable to manipulate their environment and their sapience largely useless. Natural selection eventually caused them to regress to animal-level intelligence — there was no use in growing large brains if they couldn't do anything with them — which the book treats as being largely a merciful end to their sorry lot. Many strains simply never happen to redevelop sapience, and fade into animalistic obscurity. The Hosts of the symbiotes become this as a result of the former basically taking over all their necessary mental functions.

The ancestors of the Colonials put up particularly stiff resistance against the Qu, and were given an extremely cruel punishment as a result, being transformed into limbless, boneless slabs of flesh to act as living filtration systems for the waste of Qu civilization, reproducing both sexually and asexually and spreading like mats of cancer cells. The most sadistic part of the punishment was that the Colonials' eyes and minds were left intact, leaving them perfectly able to understand what was happening to them but unable to do anything about it. Unlike the Mantelopes, they at least managed to adapt and re-develop into prosperity after the Qu left.

The Asteromorphs left the Terrestrials to guide the post-war humans to a better future. Some of the Terrestrials preferred to be treated as Gods instead. The book even says that this was tolerated since it resulted in stability.

Didn't mean they wouldn't stoop to genocide, though. The Asteromorph's direct ancestors, the Star People, were just as benevolent, having only ever intended to explore the galaxy, create new human colonies on other planets, discover extraterrerstrial life on said planets, and fight against alien threats and invasions threatening their existence rather than against one another.

All Tomorrows / int_e003c829	type	History Repeats
All Tomorrows / int_e003c829	comment	History Repeats: A major running theme of the book. Humans colonize Mars, but tensions between the two planets build until the Martians secede from Earth and spark a brutal civil war that ends in an uneasy stalemate. Forty million years later, the Lopsiders engineer the Asymmetrics to settle other worlds in their solar system; this time, however, the Asymmetrics win and promptly exterminate their progenitors. The colonization methods employed by the Star People lead to a strange problem where some of the newly-created humans develop a romantic obsession with the autonomous machines used to germinate the first wave of colonists. During the reign of the Gravital a hundred million years later, the inverse occurs: some Gravitals eventually fall in love with their organic creations. The Star Men seeded a galactic empire, which fell to a greater power, the Qu. Over the course of the next hundred million years, the mutated survivors that were fortunate enough to evolve back into isolated societies formed the Second Empire (though in practice more of a Federation) through dialogue and political unity. The Gravital came knocking and ended the Second Empire, starting the Machine Empire. During the Qu Invasion, scattered Star Men refugees who took to deep space as a means to evade the Qu, eventually evolving into the Spacers, and eventually the Asteromorph Empire, which was contemporaneous and coterminous with the Second and Machine Empires, though focused in deep space and outer systems while the latter two were focused more on planetary territory. Seeking a means to bandage over internal conflict, the Machine Empire declared war on the Asteromorph Empire, and the deadlock lasted up to a few million years, and ended with the Asteromorph's toppling the Machine Empire. Transfigured and unable to ignore the planets anymore, the Asteromorph Empire was now the New Empire, and even that faded away in time. The Star Men are utterly defeated by the Qu and their descendants are transformed into strange, inhuman creatures. Eighty million years later, the Gravital exterminate the other posthuman races except for a small handful, which they artificially engineer into all kinds of bizarre forms. When the Machines pick a fight with the Asteromorphs, however, they're on the receiving end of this process; compared to the Qu and the Gravitals themselves, however, the Astermorphs are comparatively merciful. The remaining Gravitals were simply too useful to simply discard into the trash bin of history, and had their gravity-manipulation powers taken away, their imaginations "slightly blunted", and had their lifespans reduced. Their eventual descendants were often discriminated against for their ancestors' actions, but they remained the most versatile and hardy member species of the New Empire, the author noting that they were the "most splendorous of all human species". The first part of the book ends with the Qu defeating the Star Men. The final chapter of the book notes that humanity eventually found the Qu and returned the favor.

All Tomorrows / int_ea2e9f2d	comment	No Ending: All Tomorrows is a brief overview of the grand history of humanity. All the species and their histories, the achievements and failures, the brotherhood and and the arrogance between peers, the scouring and building of entire worlds, the great revolving cycle of empires after empires. And at some point, human history just appears to cease altogether. The archeologist writing the record admits that they're looking, but the answer just isn't there. Humanity might have gone elsewhere, transfigured to something or someplace else, or humanity might have gone into the long night through conflict, or possibly simply fracturing and leaving each of its disparate strands to face their own private extinction. Ultimately, its just not known, there's just no clear ending point to human history, and in many ways, it didn't need one.

The entire human empire that spanned many star systems came under invasion if not simultaneously, then in quick succession. Note that in the time scales that the book is dealing with, "quick succession" means a thousand years. The Gravital when they attempt to exterminate all other humans. However, the Gravital themselves are not aliens, but post-human robots. The Bug Facer World was invaded by an unknown alien race, causing them to adopt an isolationist mentality. It worked in their favor when the Gravital decided to keep them around.
