Devolution

Describe a fully advanced society that starts to devolve inexplicably with each new generation.

In this eerie take on evolution, creative writers can explore the fascinating notion of unintentional “devolution.” Themes may involve the causes and implications of this change and attempt to answer questions such as – what happens when humanity starts to regress? To what era might we devolve first, and what would it mean for our daily lives? How would societies cope with this strange phenomena and how would our complex systems of governance and technology be affected?
