- Third Hero: Ivan - 5 September 2016
Ivan Place of birth: Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, Russia Age: 34 http://i.imgur.com/rnp38bT.png Ivan keeps the details of his biography to himself, sometimes joking that his family name is too well-known to mention. This has caused a lot of speculation. However, even analysts at Practical Robotics know only that from time to time Ivan visits the last resting place of a group of operatives who worked for one private military company. They all died in a fierce firefight more than five years ago, but it is not even confirmed that Ivan was present at the battle, and if so, which side he was on. All data on the details and goals of that conflict were apparently destroyed by the interested parties. And it seems very unlikely that Ivan will ever speak of it. Ivan is well-known among the eastern European PMC operatives and their coordinators. Not as a person—no one can boast friendship with him…
- Second Hero: Jason Wood - 31 August 2016
JASON WOOD Place of birth: Liberty Floating Platform, Pacific Ocean Age: 29 http://i.imgur.com/cB7pRTl.jpg Jason crashed his first car two weeks after he bought it. His second car was even less lucky—Jason intended to use it for demolition derbies; the car was modified with a custom engine and a reinforced frame. Jason smashed it to smithereens the day after he picked it up from the workshop. His third crash happened when he was performing exceptionally difficult stunts on a closed track for a video ad. The wreck left Jason’s body as ruined as the car he was in. By a miracle he survived, but the severe injuries that would have broken any other man only opened new prospects for him. Only a year after the crash, Jason started participating in sports competitions for people with reduced physical abilities. Jason always took special joy in breaking all limits and restrictions. He cracked sp…
- First Hero: Alex Carter - 29 August 2016
ALEX CARTER Place of birth: Wisconsin, USA Age: 38 A brilliant military career was predestined for Alex before he was even born into the world. Six generations of his family were army officers, which guaranteed that the next Carter in the family line would receive invitations to top schools, academies, and education programs. His parents had the money and the influence to ensure their son got the best training possible. With the help of multimedia courses, Alex started learning the basics of warfare in early childhood, and his family made sure that the boy had unrestricted access to various military vehicles during his summer breaks. When Alex enrolled at the most prestigious military academy, the walls of the common room in his residence hall were decorated with portraits of his grandfather and great-grandfather, among others. When he graduated with honors, he could have used his conne…
- Big Little World - 26 August 2016
PART 3/3 One by one, networks are covering our world: first the transport networks, then the energy networks, and finally—the information networks. With each passing year, they become more indispensible, more prevalent, more integrated and less noticeable. They cover the Earth in a transparent cocoon, watching us from above with a thousand eyes, and creeping silently under our feet with millions of hidden cables. Inside this cocoon, the awkward caterpillar of old geopolitical divisions is evolving into a new world order butterfly. It remains to be seen if this butterfly is beautiful or not. The top of the world's food chain still belongs to powerful nation states and their military-political power bases. These superpowers are engaged in a vast geopolitical game of maintaining spheres of influence, obtaining natural resources, and cultivating the brightest minds. A distinctive feature (a…
- Private Military Companies - 25 August 2016
PART 2/3 The armed forces of nation states still resemble armies of the 20th century in structure and organization. This is true for both the superpowers and smaller states. However, local conflicts are now mostly resolved by private military companies (PMC). The history of such private military companies is quite long. The first mention of commercial military organizations participating in local conflicts, and unofficially using the latest military prototypes, were first noted in the first decade of the 21st century. Within the following ten to fifteen years, outdated weaponry and machines were retired from military service due to generational change of equipment and the accelerated pace of technological advancement. These older vehicles were sold to private parties that served the interests of particular states. What is particularly important, they were the first to test prototypes of…
- The Wars of Tomorrow - 24 August 2016
PART 1/3 The past several thousand years have witnessed great leaps in technology, from the invention of the wagon to the first automobile. It's been less than two hundred years since those first automobiles and the rise of powered flight. And only a few decades have passed from the first space rockets to the Moon landing. In the future, the time intervals between technical innovations will take no longer than an ordinary coffee break. That age is still to come, but it is rapidly approaching. The year 2060 is within sight and with it will come a brave new world. 3-D printing and automated technologies are being rapidly developed and they have become cost effective in the recent decades. Automated factories not only work without operators in all phases of raw material acquisition and transportation, they can also repair themselves—with robots producing spare parts and replacing worn part…
