The Argonauts
You are part of a scientifc techno-progressive movement
that seeks to solve transhumanity’s injustices and
inequalities with technology. You support universal
access to technology and healthcare, open source
models of production, morphological freedom, and
democratization. You try to avoid factionalism and
divisive politics, seeing transhumanity’s splintering as
a hindrance to its perpetuation.
Fictional organization in the Eclipse Phase universe that is pro-science and technology as a means to justice.
