Hi, folks,
below is an abstract about the central premise of the series. As one can tell, the subject matter is deliciously deep, wide ranging and with plenty of scope to be worldwide. I'm putting together a team of writers and directors that are serious about success and ready, willing and able to create the world they want to see!
The series will be about how people might respond to the knowledge that the evolutionary clock is ticking on them faster than they ever imagined. It will also be about trying to achieve Next It status, which is inaccessible to most, but achievable by the exceptional.
The tone of this interaction will be civil, not sensational or hyperbolic; something akin to a competition for good schools amongst the urban upper middle class: quietly intense amongst those that know to be competing for the resource, unnoticeable to the large majority that do not know the competition is happening. However, there will be a set of circumstances that all of our characters, consciously or not, will have to deal with. These circumstances can be described as the stress caused by the accelerated evolution of the species, which is making it harder for society to make a smooth transition.

The Next Iteration of Human Existence
There is no question in the 21st Century that evolutionary forces are being accelerated through the concerted efforts of scientific and technological exploration and manipulation. There is the expectation that the next iteration of human existence will be characterized by a faster, stronger, smarter, longer living, more efficient human being whose genes...is was artificial but who will naturally reproduce the next iteration of Human.

This is a movement being led by the Initiated amongst the rich and powerful engorged by Capitalist Scheme after Wall Street scheme in business, government, and the leading universities. The prediction is that a world of six billion will ultimately level out to a more manageable and efficient two billion people. No, there will not be an apocalyptic event or some grand genocidal scheme. Like other inferior species (see Neaderthal), the current human will simply be unable to compete against the Next Iteration of Human Existence (NIHE Man). As NIHE Man begins to evolve out of the laboratory into the maternity ward and into civil society, there will simply be less and less productive activity to occupy and support and existence of a slower, weaker, dumber species. Man manipulated evolution is going to kick much glutuneous maximum in the coming years.
Already the powers that be are telling good White People that smart and smarter is not good enough. Alan Greenspan says that America stands for top-level creativity, not rote reproduction and ministerial activity. America is Bill Gates, not Bill Programmer. Smart and smarter is not good enough, only the Enhanced will go forward.
