[url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/main]The Lifeboat Foundation[/url] is a real organization created as a joint partnership between various groups to try and ensure the future existence of humankind (and one of the inspirations for Firewall). Their website provides some astonishing details about where we might be going and, on a more game-related note, amazing ideas about threats to include in your games. Two notable examples include ecophages (self-replicating nanobots that use waste heat to destroy the world) and 200-microns-long botulism delivery mechanisms (insectoid weapons, with enough to kill everyone in the world eight times over and thensome easily contained in a suitcase). It's a very real group talking about very real things, and I really recommend checking them out. At the very least, the various programs they have going provide interesting areas of specialty for Firewall/Argonaut groups to be working in to combat X-Risks.
