Will mankind embrace this technological evolution, retreat into the comforting limits of humanity, or choose something else entirely? In the usual Deus Ex style, Adam stumbles across a web of intrigue and conspiracy, as numerous forces clash for control of humanity's future. Six months later, Adam goes on a mission that takes him to a poverty-stricken Detroit, the teeming Chinese metropolis of Hengsha, and even a cutting edge scientific facility in the Arctic Ocean, to discover who attacked Sarif Industries, and why. After an attack on Sarif, Adam is severely injured and forced to undergo augmentation himself in order to recover. In the middle is Adam Jensen, a private security officer for Sarif Industries, the leading name in human augmentation. Corporations are steadily taking power from national governments, and the gap between rich and poor continues to widen.
Human civilization seems to be in a golden age of innovation and advancement, but social tension bubbles under the surface.
Nanotech augmentation has yet to be developed, while biomechanical augmentation is state of the art. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a prequel to Deus Ex developed by Eidos Montreal.
