What would the world look like if we lived in harmony with the other organisms around us? Step into the Symbiocene! A new era in which nature doesn’t revolve solely around human life, but where we become partners in coexistence. Cities would transform into nature reserves, full of eco-friendly buildings constructed from biobased materials, ensuring equal rights for all living inhabitants. What would we wear? What would we eat? What would we invent? Join us as we explore the dawn of an epoch in which Earth and Humanity heal their toxic ties. To live happily ever after.
