Welcome to Newdawn 2098: Where Future Fiction Meets Today’s Reality
What Is Newdawn 2098?
Newdawn 2098 is not just a story—it’s a living universe. A comprehensive science fiction world where today’s trends become tomorrow’s reality, where corporate power evolves into corporate governance, where climate refugees become space pioneers, and where humanity’s greatest challenges are explored through character-driven narratives that honor both the struggle and the resilience of the human spirit.
This is speculative fiction grounded in research. Social commentary disguised as entertainment. A warning and a mirror held up to our present moment, asking: If we continue on our current path, where do we arrive?
A Universe Built on Extrapolation, Not Fantasy
Every element of Newdawn 2098 is rooted in current reality:
The Great Migration traces climate change from today’s displaced millions to tomorrow’s refugee billions, following humanity’s 70-year journey from coastal evacuations to orbital colonies.
The Conclave System explores what happens when corporations stop influencing governments and simply become them—a logical extension of today’s corporate power into tomorrow’s corporate sovereignty.
The Ascendance examines human-AI integration not as distant science fiction but as the natural progression of neural interfaces already in development, asking the hardest question: When you upgrade yourself piece by piece, are you still you?
Ang City’s Vertical Society literalizes wealth inequality, showing how today’s class divide could become tomorrow’s architectural reality—where your altitude determines your destiny and the rich literally live above the clouds.
Total Surveillance reveals the endpoint of our current trajectory from data harvesting to thought monitoring, from privacy as right to privacy as historical curiosity.
This isn’t escapism. This is engagement with the future we’re actively building.
What Makes Newdawn Different
Complexity Over Simplicity
Newdawn refuses easy answers. There are no pure heroes or absolute villains—only people making choices in impossible systems. The Conclaves aren’t evil; they’re efficient. The Ascendants aren’t monsters; they’re enhanced. The vertical society isn’t malicious; it’s optimized. This complexity honors reality’s nuance.
Character Over Spectacle
We don’t tell stories about systems—we tell stories about people living within those systems. Follow characters at every level of society: the corporate elite in Golden Ghetto, professionals in CliffsTop, workers in Emerald Fields, rebels in the Underground. Their daily lives, moral choices, and human connections matter more than explosions or battles.
Research Over Invention
Every technological, social, and environmental element is researched and plausible. Climate scientists review our migration timelines. Technologists assess our AI integration scenarios. Political scientists examine our corporate governance models. We extrapolate, we don’t fantasy-write.
Questions Over Answers
Newdawn doesn’t lecture. It presents scenarios and asks: What would you do? If corporate citizenship guaranteed stability but cost freedom, would you accept it? If neural enhancement made you competitive but meant constant monitoring, would you enhance? If rising meant leaving others behind, would you climb?
These aren’t hypothetical questions. They’re variations of choices we face now.

What We Stand For
Thoughtful Speculation
We believe science fiction should make you think, not just escape. The best speculative fiction holds a mirror to the present while imagining the future.
Inclusive World-Building
Newdawn’s universe reflects humanity’s diversity. Characters span ethnicities, backgrounds, classes, and perspectives. The future belongs to everyone, and our stories reflect that.
Accessible Depth
Whether you want quick character stories or deep lore dives, multiple entry points exist. Casual readers and hardcore worldbuilding fans both find their place here.
Hopeful Realism
Yes, Newdawn explores difficult futures—authoritarianism, inequality, surveillance, climate catastrophe. But it also explores human resilience, resistance, community, and the stubborn refusal to give up. Even in darkness, people find light. Even in oppression, people find freedom. Even when systems fail, people find each other.
This isn’t grimdark nihilism. This is honest about challenges while celebrating human persistence.
Why Now?
We’re living through Newdawn’s opening chapters. Climate crisis accelerating. Democratic backsliding globally. Corporate power unchecked. AI development racing ahead of ethics. Surveillance normalized. Inequality widening.
The future isn’t coming—it’s here. The choices we make in the next decade will determine whether Newdawn’s 2098 is prediction or cautionary tale.
These stories matter because understanding where trends lead gives us power to change course. Because seeing the human cost of systemic failures makes those failures unacceptable. Because fiction can explore possibilities that journalism and essays cannot.
We tell these stories not to depress but to prepare. Not to predict but to prevent. Not to accept but to challenge.
