The Last Adults
A scalable, story-driven intellectual property about what happens when the last rational minds on Earth must decide whether to rebuild a humane society—or a perfectly optimized cage.0
This is a calm apocalypse: low on explosions, high on ideas, and designed from the ground up for books, series, podcasts, and visual storytelling.
1. Overview
The Last Adults began as a tightly focused website and narrative seed. It has since evolved into a fully defined world exploring a simple but powerful question:
“What happens when only a handful of true adults are left to think clearly?”
The property blends grounded science, psychological realism, and a distinctive “quiet apocalypse” tone. It avoids generic doomsday spectacle in favor of tension, ethics, and slow-burn world-building.1
2. Why This Project Matters
Around the world, people feel like “the adults have left the room.” Decision-making is louder, faster, and more chaotic—while calm, rational voices seem to be disappearing.
The Last Adults taps directly into that anxiety and turns it into a high-concept premise: a world where almost everyone has regressed mentally, leaving a few intact minds to define what “adulthood” and “leadership” will mean from now on.2
Because it focuses on emotional truth and ethical choices—not on partisan politics—the project is culturally relevant without being locked to a specific news cycle or ideology.
3. Current Assets
- A working website and home base: thelastadults.com
- The mainline Jim & Bonnie narrative, with Part I complete and structured for web reading
- The Lost Journals – Part I companion story in polished PDF form
- Two in-world research papers (NRV-2027 & Life and Death of the Infected) that deepen the science and can be reused in transmedia formats
- A distinct visual tone: calm, cinematic, and reflective rather than chaotic or gory3
Together these form a strong foundation for an IP that can grow in multiple directions without needing blockbuster budgets.
4. Investor & Partner Opportunities
We are open to both creative and non-creative partners interested in helping expand the world of The Last Adults into a larger public-facing project. Potential paths include:4
- Funding to accelerate ongoing writing, editing, and world-building
- Book or novella publication, including print-on-demand and digital distribution
- Short-form video, motion-graphics, or limited-series production
- Audio adaptation (narrated stories, podcast, or documentary-style series)
- Marketing and audience-development support
- Advisory input from media, publishing, psychology, sociology, or tech backgrounds
5. Why Invest Now
High-concept, low production cost. The world is already defined and lives primarily in text, voice, and modest visual assets—ideal for modern digital ecosystems.5
Evergreen relevance. As societies grow noisier and more reactive, a thoughtful story about calm, ethical leadership only becomes more timely.
Scalable IP. The same core world can support:
- Standalone novels and novellas
- Companion essays and in-world documents
- Short or long-form video
- Audio series and discussion-based content
- Future film or television pitches
Clean brand positioning. The project is serious, reflective, and responsible in tone— positioned as a mature look at the future rather than another shock-driven apocalypse.
