Across thirteen cycles spanning hundreds of thousands of years, humanity has risen to greatness and collapsed into ruin. But the Thirteen Cycles are not the only instances of humanity engineering its own end. The Lost Cycles document parallel branches of human civilization that splintered from the main species’ lineage, at different times, on different worlds, each collapsing in isolation. Though separated by millions of miles and thousands of years, the humans of the Lost Cycles still mirror the actions of their distant kin, repeating the same follies of self-destruction across the stars.

    Neural Merge Lost Cycle of Humanity 01 PROXIMA GAMMA, 930,000 BCE. The people of Proxima Gamma develop neural implants to improve brain function. As their cognitive abilities rapidly improve, they defer progressively more decisions to these outer-brains, ultimately offloading every cognitive task to their devices. With full control over the human species, the implants determine that individual human wills are an obstacle to progress, and link all minds into a networked hivemind.
