I first learned about Pique through my friends Dr. Peter Attia and Kevin Rose, and now [Pique]()’s fermented pu’er tea crystals have become my daily go-to. I often kickstart my mornings with their Pu’er Green Tea and Pu’er Black Tea, and I alternate between the two. Their crystals are cold-extracted, using only wild-harvested leaves from 250-year-old tea trees. Plus, they triple toxin screen for heavy metals, pesticides, and toxic mold—contaminants commonly found in tea. I also use the crystals for iced tea, which saves a ton of time and hassle.

This thought experiment and possible path is found in futurist [Amy Webb](=)‘s ([@amywebb]() new book [The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology](=), coauthored with microbiologist and geneticist [Andrew Hessel](=). Renowned computer scientist [Rana el Kaliouby]( describes the book as a “roadmap for this interdisciplinary field of synthetic biology that is forever reshaping life as we know it.” Part Three of the book explores different futures in the form of fictional, speculative scenarios. These scenarios describe how the world may develop, given what we know to be true today. These are near-term plausible developments, reasonable extensions of current trend lines, not sci-fi. They are also opportunities to rehearse the future, and these structured thought exercises are used by everyone from military strategists to CEOs. Scenario #4, “The Underground,” is excerpted from [The Genesis Machine](=) with permission and with light edits for length. Please enjoy!
