[[File:Deux-ex.jpg|right|thumb|Cover art from the first Deux Ex game]]
'''Deus Ex''' is a [[cyberpunk]] (and arguably proto-[[nanopunk]]) video game series set in a [[dystopian transhumanism|dystopian]] near-future from the mid-2020s through to the early-2070s. The world is governed by shadowy oligarchic organisations including the Illuminati, FEMA, Majestic 12 and the Knights Templar.

The augmentations available to the player is based on either [[cybernetics]] or [[nanotechnology]], allowing the character to perform various features of strength, stealth and combat allowing creative approaches towards exploring the game.

One the major themes of the series of of the [[oligarchic transhumanism|social and technological inequality]] of the dominant factions, leaving it up to the player which groups they ally themselves with or none.

Other themes include the role of [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] in future science, with one of the multiple ending choices in both ''Deus Ex'' and [[Deus Ex: Invisible War]] allowing players the option to link with a near-omniscient AI with the aim of replacing the human shadow government with an AI-human hybrid technocracy.

== Story ==

== Themes ==

=== Human augmentation ===

'''Mechanical augmentation'''

'''Nanotechnological augmentation'''

The '''Omar''', an explicitly [[posthumanism|posthumanist]] faction in Invisible War, further develops nano-augmentation in pursuit of both a [[hive mind]] and extreme environmental resilience. Their name, Russian for "[[lobster]]", references a concept in [[Bruce Sterling]]'s Shaper/Mechanist universe: an externally synthetic but internally human entity, inverting the cyborg as externally human with synthetic internals.

A substantially less visible third type, '''Physiopharmaceutical augmentation''', is also present in Deus Ex and Invisible War, reliant on psychological conditioning and [[Nootropics|drugs]] to enhance a subject's loyalty, pain tolerance, and physical capabilities.<ref name="physiopharmaceutical-augs">[https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/Physiopharmaceutical_augmentation Physiopharmaceutical augmentation] - Deus Ex Wiki</ref>

=== Artificial intelligence ===

=== Political Philosophy ===

Numerous overt and implicit references are made to political philosophy throughout the series.

The Morpheus AI in Deus Ex likens the social functions of [[surveillance]] with divine judgement, noting human desire to be seen and participate in larger groups.<ref name="youtube-morpheus-conversation">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b-bijO3uEw Morpheus Conversation] on YouTube</ref> This is extrapolated further in Invisible War, when JC Denton/Helios explains his plan for a just and desirable [[singleton]] world government, directly quoting Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville and citing his conceptualization of an all-knowing "mind of God" as an ideal administrator, thoroughly knowledgeable of all circumstances and incapable of generalized approximations of justice.<ref name="youtube-jc-dentons-plan">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBeoreJr4Yc JC Denton's Plan] on YouTube</ref>

=== Conspiracy theories ===

== Outreach ==

Publisher Square Enix uses the popularity of the franchise to communicate real transhumanist developments, and is even holding an event entitled "[[Human by Design]]" to showcase issues in even further depth. Square Enix have also partnered with [[Open Bionics]] to produce Adam Jensen inspired bionic prosthetics <ref>[http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/8/11885684/deus-ex-open-bionics-prosthetic-arm Deus Ex-inspired prosthetic arms are coming next year]</ref>

A short film, Deus Ex: The Eyeborg Documentary, was commissioned from [[Rob Spence]] by Square-Enix to explore real-world advances in prosthetics.<ref name="youtube-eyeborg-documentary">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW78wbN-WuU Deus Ex: The Eyeborg Documentary] on YouTube</ref>
