Contemporary Era

**Contemporary Era** is the last of the Eras in *Humankind*. When entering this era, the player can choose between ten cultures. After the culture is chosen, the era transition will accrue in between this and the next turn. In this era, two new Strategic Resources (, ) are available after researching the corresponding technologies. The previous era is the Industrial Era.

**In-game motto:** "*Marked by sharp growth in the discovery and exploitation of technologies in every facet of life--transportation, communication, agriculture, politics, finance and economics.*"

## Intro

The human mind,
creative, imaginative, and ingenious at turning every single human invention to its most violent end.
We pray or hope,
looking forward to a future which, with luck, will be counted in millennia,
not in months...
