Even as horrible Mutants, Humanity exacts vengeance upon Xenos.

All Tomorrows is a very cursed book about the dark and EXTREMELY heretical ways Humanity could possibly evolve in unnatural ways due to xenos influence. Recently this book achieved meme status due to its insanely cursed depictions of post-human mutants that perfectly display why strains of humanity that aren't protected by the Imperium of Man are no longer human. It's also considered the spiritual successor to another Abhuman-focused meme-fountain of a book, Man After Man.

The Story: Intro

The story begins as Humanity first colonizes Mars, but instead of turning it into an industrial technological hell-hole, they just kinda live there for a long while, genetically deviating from Earth Humanity. Eventually, Earth and Mars fought a war against each other, because that always happens in sci-fi. The survivors of this war vowed to never wage war on each other again, and united their planets and became a unified people. They continued to evolve into a single species known as the "Star-People", intellectual and adaptable beings who could easily survive on just about any planet. They were the new humanity, the Star-People.

The Star-People. The first evolutionary step Humanity takes.

Humanity expanded and prospered for a while under a "summer of man", an age in which the Star-People thought all was perfect. The Star-People did discover some alien animals, but nothing sentient so far. Some people found bones of dinosaurs on another planet, and so, religions became stronger, as dinosaurs on another planet means god, right? As other Star-People reasoned, no, it means Xenos, and that's potentially bad. Either way, the Star-People started arming themselves just to be on the safe side. A lot of good that did them...

The Qu, Xenos scum that fucked over Humanity.

The Qu are a god-like species of Xenos with incredibly powers of genetic-manipulation. They don't see other sentient beings as sentient, but rather just tools for experimentation. They waged war against humanity and easily won, allowing them to fuck Humanity over by basically turning them into living shitposts.

Story: Gallery of xenos-influenced mutants

• 

  Worms. This is what Xenos fuckery turns humans into.

• 

  The great Titans. Still mutants though.

• 

  Predators.

• 

  The Prey species of the Predators.

• 

  Mutants that are super-depressed due to their lack of thumbs.

• 

  Lizard-Herders be vibing bro.

• 

  A Swimmer, aka a derpy dolphin.

• 

  Temptors. The males are weak and the females are strong. They are the average E-girl.

• 

  Bone-Crushers. They communicate by shitting on each-other. I've heard of shitposting, but this is ridiculous!

• 

  Colonials. One of the few groups of Star-People to actually put up a fight against the Qu, so they got mutated into fully-sapient waste processors.

• 

  Flyers.

• 

  Hand Flappers. Note the censored magnum-dong.

• 

  These guys hid underground, so the Qu turned them into Blind-Folk.

• 

  Lopsiders, made to live on a heavy-gravity planet.

• 

  On a low-gravity planet, the Qu made the Striders, who were wiped out by predatory descendants of chickens.

• 

  On a planet were Humans resisted the Qu, they turned them into Parasites.

• 

  The Finger-Fishers catch fish with their long fingers.

• 

  Hedonists were made to be the pets of the Qu.

• 

  The Insectophagi eat insects.

The Spacers. The only remaining naturally-evolving Humans.

When the Qu invaded Humanity's colonies, there was some Humans who were far way from these battles, these being the Spacers, who naturally evolved in space environments and built massive space-ships. They grew long arms and moved in zero-g by farting. Amazing. They chose not to help the Human colonists in their war against the Qu. Dicks.

Story: Post-Human evolved species

• 

  Snake People are the Sentient evolved version of the Worms.

• 

  The Predators evolved into the Killer Folk. They had a society built around hunting.

• 

  The Swimmers evolved into the Tool-Breeders, using sea life as technology since their first attempts to harness fire and electricity probably went something like this.

• 

  The Lizards of the Lizard-Herders gained sentience and used the herders as their mounts. What a power-move.

• 

  The Colonials eventually evolved into collective organisms known as the Modular People. A success story if ever I've heard one.

• 

  The Flyers became Pterosapiens and established a world-government, since the idea of borders sounds stupid when you can literally fly wherever you want. They also focused on philosophy, since apparently that's what you do when you have a short life-span.

• 

  The Lopsiders genetically-engineered the Asymmetric people for space colonization, and then were exterminated by these creations.

• 

  The Parasites eventually took over another species and controlled them like puppets. They made a society this way.

• 

  The Finger-Fishers became the Sail People. They were competitive and tribal, but eventually became sentient.

• 

  The Hedonists had their planet destroyed but managed to evolve into the sentient Satyriacs. Still very Hedonistic, they are basically Slaangors.

• 

  The Insectophagi evolved into the sentient Bug facers. They were attacked by an unknown alien race, but survived and are now xenophobic.

Finally, the Spacers evolved into the Asteromorphs, becoming smarter and creepier, but they were peaceful, remaining on their Craftworlds.

Story: continued and ending

After each of these sentient Post-Human societies achieved inter-planetary communication, the Killer Folk, Satyriacs, Tool Breeders, Modular People, Pterosapiens, Asymmetric people, Saurosapients, Snake People, Symbiotes, and Sail people made contact, and joined together in a vast Post-Human Empire that lasted for 80 Million years. They never actually met face to face, since space is huge, but they prospered nonetheless. The Bug Facers, however, never joined this Empire, because they were conservative and scared of the Universe.

• 

  The Ruin Haunters advanced among intact cities of the Star People. This caused problems...

• 

  The new form of the Ruin Haunters, now fully transformed into an Abominable Intelligence.

• 

  The Gravitals began attacking all organic Post-Human sentient species.

• 

  The Bug Facers were turned into Subjects of genetic torture by the Gravitals.

• 

  Some Gravitals and Subjects loved each other. Feels good man.

The Ruin Haunters advanced inside the ruins of the Ancient Star-People, Humanity's first mutation. They were able to advance so quickly with the Star Peoples technology, that they nearly became extinct, but the survivors came back with a supremacist mindset, that only they were the true reclaimers of the Star Peoples legacy. They rejected the offer to join the Post-Human Empire, and instead remained independent. Their planets star was growing rapidly, threatening to destroy their planet, so the Ruin Haunters pulled a Necron and abandoned their flesh for new mechanical bodies known as The Gravitals. Still having their mindset of supremacy over the other Post-Human species, the Gravitals began a massive war against the Post-Human Empire, eventually beating and rendering all its members extinct. For reasons unknown, the Gravitals chose to keep the shy and xenophobic Bug Facers alive, and use them as genetic playthings and test-subjects of all kinds of disturbing mockeries of Humanity, just like the Qu once did.

Eventually, some Religious and philosophical sects of the Gravitals began to feel sympathy and even love for their organic subjects, and chose to campaign for their rights, not as tools and toys, but as sentient beings deserving of respect. This caused a Civil War within the Gravital Machine Empire. To remedy this, the Gravitals chose to go to war against the Asteromorphs. This war was long and brutal, but the Asteromorphs were eventually victorious, liberating the subjects from their control.

The still-evolving Asteromorphs' victory over the Gravitals.

The Gravitals were weakened, reduced to a slave-race of Nanite-beings who were given fair treatment, but still faced discrimination due to their past actions, which they accepted because they were that bad. The victorious Asteromorphs, the one and only naturally-evolving Post-Human species chose to fix the Gravital's colossal fuck-ups with the subjects, freeing them and giving them new colonies to thrive on. The Asteromorphs began to play God, seeding life across the Galaxy, finally free from chaos and war, and kept a respectfully-distant watch over their creations and Post-Human species colonies. The Asteromorphs wanted to make sure that no war or genocide could ever be organized again, so they created the Terrestrials, smaller, simpler versions of themselves that could safely inhabit planets. These Terrestrials were not perfect, some were douchebags with a god-complex, and sometimes the younger Post-Human species rebelled, and they had to be destroyed, but one way or another, eventually, a peaceful Post-Human Empire was reestablished and spread across the stars. Eventually, Earth, Humanity's very homeworld, was re-discovered and colonized, and the Post-Human Empire made contact with a Xenos race with an evolutionary history just as complicated as their own. Each race had grown wise and smart enough to choose not to fight. Eventually the Qu were rediscovered and got their asses handed to them once and for all by everyone they previously fucked over.

  A Terrestrial casually re-colonises Ancient Terra.

• 

  A Xenos species from outside our Galaxy met with the Post-Human Empire, and... it was peaceful. Each race was wise and old enough to not fight.

The in-Universe Author of All Tomorrows having that last laugh

So, a fairly happy ending, right? Well, not exactly. The Author of this book is revealed to be a Xeno archaeologist. Humanity is either extinct, or gone, he does not know which. Maybe Humanity ascended into a new dimension, or maybe the Empire collapsed and war and ruin caused their extinction... who knows. The author does not, but it's the journey that matters to him.

THE MEMES

All Tomorrows quickly became a huge meme in July of 2021 after a youtuber by the username of "Alt Shift X" posted a summary of it. This also sparked a renewed interest in speculative evolution in general, including a book called "Man After Man", which somehow manages to be even more cursed thanks to the uncanny art style!

Below is a gallery of memes collected from various sources.

• 

  Still very fucking heretical.

• 

  Humanity is sus

• 

  Yeah thanks Space fuckers.

• 

  Humanity takes revenge on the Qu

• 

  You are Mutant now

• 

  The average Vtuber Simp

• 

  The virgin star people VS THE CHAD QU

• 

  The Gravitals have some thoughts on Cybernetics

•

  Gravital reacts to /tg/

• 

  DON'T YOU DARE! Actually, Erebus fucking deserves it. Proceed.

Relevance to /tg/

Other than a potential setting for something like Eclipse Phase or maybe a Quest Thread, there doesn't seem to be much in this story that is of relevance to /tg/.

C.M Kosemen, the writer of All Tomorrows is a massive Warhammer 40k nerd.

Another fa/tg/uy says that the book is a good source of inspiration for homebrewing Abhuman Worlds and their populations for Warhammer 40K role-playing games.
