Adamism is gay :D . |
|||
'''Adamism''' is a fictional culture in [[Peter F. Hamilton]]'s science fiction ''[[The Night's Dawn Trilogy]]'' series. Distinguishing characteristics of Adamism include the use of genetic engineering and nanotechnology and a cultural / religious opposition to the use of bitek (biotechnology) and especially the storage of memories and consciousness made possible by the affinity gene (a form of genetically added telepathy). |
|||
==Technology== |
|||
===Nanonics=== |
|||
Nanonics (nanotechnology) is widely used within the adamist culture, with every adult having at least some nanotech installed. All computer and machinery control is achieved with a nanonic 'datavise'. A datavise between two (or more) people serves as a somewhat cruder analogue to the [[Edenist]] [[affinity]]. |
|||
Interfacing between nanonics and affinity is possible, and nanonics has been used on at least one occasion by a edenist habitat to store the memory and consciousness of an adamist who converted to Edenism at death. |
|||
===Geneering=== |
|||
Genetic engineering is common among both the Adamist and [[Edenist]] cultures. Used for anything from increased lifespan to full combat cababilities (combined with weapons and tactical nanonics). |
|||
===Sensevise=== |
|||
A sensevise recording can contain the complete sensory input a human being is capable of (sight, hearing, smell, touch, emotion, thoughts etc). Sensevise recordings are very frequently used in the Night's Dawn universe, most often by the media. |
|||
==Religion== |
|||
===Unified Christian Church=== |
|||
In 2044, all the christian based religions merged into the Unified Christian Church. A few planets still conform (quietly) to the dictates of the old individual religions (e.g catholisism) |
