Definitely humans.I don’t have as much to say as my last post but I prefer Humans for more than a couple reasons. One of those reasons is for purposes of gameplay. Humans are versatile and can generally fit into almost any class with no major problems. They are also most often the “common” race in games and don’t have any issues integrating with a setting, unless that setting is remarkably unconventional. Though my preference goes back before I got involved in tabletop RPGs.

Mandira by *JonasDeRo on deviantART. TOXIC NERD NOIR. These futuristic cities are housed inside a single, gigantic building. I was wondering why the Judge Dredd mega cities weren't mentioned above.
Because Mega City one is a massive conventional city surrounded by a wall. It is not an archology, a single structure that is entire city all by itself. Yes, and conventional cities contain buildings that have 250 stories, house 75000 people, and can operate independently for long periods behind heavy shielding during times of war. ...and conventional cities do not contain populations upwards of 800M people, depending on which source you go with, suffering from communal cabin fever. It stands to reason that those massive buildings are a natural result of the being in such a massively over-built, over-sized, over-populated city, in which periodically one "block" attacks another.
Those massive structures are no different from the towers in New York, LA, Tokyo, and other areas of the world, just bigger. ANTIFAN-REAL's deviantART Gallery.

A psychedelic 70s comic from Heavy Metal magazine that’s mostly impressive for the visuals, though the story takes a turn in the final couple pages. It’s worth a read.Found on this blog, brought to my attention by the same blogger’s tumblr post. Thanks, Highway 62! We are made of star stuff. "Futureshock" proves that the future really is unevenly distributed. When you ask a man if people are suffering from psychological stress and disorientation due to relatively rapid social and technological change, and he responds that we're all going to be screwed when the AIs take over ... do you feel satisfied with that answer?
I like Dery's riffs on Gibson's "the future is already here; it's just not very evenly distributed," but they don't bear on the question he was asked. Nor do his comments about our built-in cognitive limits, although those are also interesting. The Tofflers' notion of "future shock" as a psychological ailment was just book-selling hype. It struck a chord in 1970s America, and not because hospitals were filling up with people having panic attacks inspired by touch-tone phones, color TVs, IBM mainframes, Tang, and moon landings, but because the 1960s was such a profoundly turbulent decade. The turbulence was not a result of technology, per se, although television helped quite a bit, as did the birth control pill and LSD.
