In the future of Deus Ex, dissidents will raise their fists for a new kind of revolution in human rights. The debate over whether or not citizens should be allowed to augment their bodies with nanotech will be a major theme in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. As Adam Jensen, a private security officer for leading nanotech manufacturer Sarif Industries, you’ll see the aftermath and effects of the raging debate firsthand as you explore the game’s Blade Runner-esque world set in the not-so-distant-future of 2027.
