April 29, 2029
Brain-computer interface now bidirectional. Not just read—write.
You can input information directly into someone's brain.
It works. It's safe(ish). It's FDA-track approved.
2030 launch date set.
I have... concerns.

Molecular assembler can now build objects atom-by-atom at scale.
Demo today: Assembled a smartphone from raw elements. Time: 4 hours.
Cost: ~$0 (just energy).
Post-scarcity economics isn't theoretical anymore.
It's in the next room.

Quantum computer hit 1 million qubits today. Error-corrected. Stable.
The cryptography team went very quiet.
The chemistry team went wild (quantum simulation unlocked).
The AI team started calculating things I don't understand.
We're in new territory now.
We could write to brains. Build anything from atoms. Compute anything quantum.
All the pieces were in place.
For what, we weren't sure.
