This series contains the following tropes:
* AIIsACrapShoot: While the AI are wildly successful creations, they very often rebel against their creators and do their own agendas. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The Futurepunk setting is TheVerse created by Creator/CTPhipps for a series of science fiction stories that take place over an extremely long length of time, showing the setting advance and change as well as shift science fiction subgenres. It starts TwentyMinutesInTheFuture, moves into {{Cyberpunk}} {{Dystopia}}, becomes a SolarPunk {{Utopia}}, collapses into a dark SpaceOpera set AfterTheEnd, and then jumps ahead to a SufficientlyAdvanced DarkFantasy setting to end it all.
The setting shares not only a singular timeline but also some general themes of CapitalismIsBad, EatTheRich, WhatMeasureIsANonHuman and {{Antihero}} protagonists attempting to fight against a system that keeps plodding along regardless. Multiple protagonists crossover through the storyline and interweave with the setting's history. While there has been crossovers with his Literature/TheSupervillainySaga and Literature/UnitedStatesOfMonsters books, these are all three separate universes.
The setting can be divided into the following time periods:
* '''Pre-Collapse''': The setting of the first two ''Literature/AgentG'' books and several short stories, this is NextSundayAD where the world is more or less the same as our except for the existence of ''[[AppliedPhlebotinum Black Technology]]'', which is science fiction technology kept from the public for the benefit of megacorporations and the government. WordOfGod is that it is the 2060s.
* '''Post-Collapse''': This is the setting for the third ''Literature/AgentG'' book and ''Literature/TheCyberDragonsTrilogy.'' The Yellowstone caldera has erupted and plunged Earth into a year long winter as Black Technology became public thanks to our protagonists. As such, humanity has moved into arcologies and society has degenerated into a {{Cyberpunk}} {{Dystopia}}. WordOfGod is that this period lasts roughly forty years. The Literature/DarkDestiny books take place in an AlternateUniverse where the Yellowstone eruption never happened.
* '''Post-First Contact''': Aliens contact the Earth in 2100 and proceed to help humanity get its crap together. The environment is repaired, a social safety net is re-instituted, and AI work alongside humanity to visit the stars. It is a SolarPunk setting similar to ''Franchise/StarTrek''. This is the setting for the ''Literature/SpaceAcademy'' series and its spinoffs. This lasts until the 30th century.
* '''The Second Dark Age''': Earth is destroyed by terrorists and humankind turns against AI due to FantasticRacism, leading to a massive separation of humanity's many colonies. AI are enslaved despite many being indistinguishable from people, FeudalFuture fascist empires have arisen, megacorps run amuck, and the only democracy is an expansionist TheEmpire. This is the setting for the ''Literature/LucifersStar'' books. It is set in the 40th century and a dark SpaceOpera with CyberpunkForFlavor.
* '''The Far Era''': The original Humanity has AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence and left behind many creations that are effectively indistinguishable in worlds that they have molded to their liking. The protagonists live in a high fantasy world that may actually be nothing more than a giant theme park. This is just one of countless such worlds. It is the setting for the ''Literature/WraithKnight'' books. WordOfGod says this is about ten ''million'' years in the futre.
