We are Resurget.
From the secrets of fire, to man’s landing on mars, history lives here, and this story is ours.

Take a long look at the world around you, and it’s obvious that something is very wrong. There’s no easy way to put this: we’ve made some mistakes. We all have. After all, we’re only human, and nobody’s perfect! As we strive to move forward from the errors of our past in the pursuit of a more equitable and sustainable society for all, Resurget is here for you. Because we care.

Here at Resurget, we believe that at the very core of an egalitarian society is education. As the old saying goes: knowledge is power. That’s why we’ve spent the last 20 years doing some painstaking work, meticulously compiling and archiving every last piece of published print known to humanity, preserving our story for generations to come. Finally, our dedicated team of designers have completed this living document; our humble tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. Today, we are ready to share that with you now.

Introducing Athena.
Unprecedented innovation for an unprecedented time.

At Resurget, we don’t take small steps. We take giant leaps. Our creation, the Automated Technician of the Human-Engineered Neural Apparatus, or, Athena, encapsulates the very essence of our species’ ingenious. In an age when conventional education has become increasingly unattainable for so many, Athena will be your guide. We know that time will prove Athena to be what lifts us from our many years of darkness, because we know that as long as we are still here, harnessing the will to learn from our past at every turn, our brightest days are still to come.

A.I. that never felt more human. Because it is.

The apparatus, or “implant”, resides at the bleeding edge of technological innovation. The result of boundless, impassioned dedication from some of the world’s foremost digital architects, our small team of developers have successfully perfected this microscopic data chipset, the RD1. As small as a blood cell, the chip contains within its very own wireless-fidelity hotspot connected directly to our cloud-based archive, curated to you in your ear by Athena. The result is an A.I. that has never felt more in-tune with you; an A.I. that has never felt more human, because in a very real way, it is.

Obviously, the name is no accident, and deliberately harkens back to some of the earliest of humanity’s near-lost history. Ancient legend refers to Athena as the goddess of wisdom, and we at Resurget couldn’t think of a name more fitting to pay tribute to the great vastness of our story.

As the 21st century has progressed, humanity has seen some of its darkest moments. While some may consider the best path forward being to turn their backs to history, here at Resurget, we see things differently. We believe that what distinguishes our species is our capacity to remember. To share history. To learn from where we came. To become better than we were. As we enter into a world without the comforts of the past, whose fleeting nature we were once so blind to see,

Resurget is here to ensure that those of us who remain, all of us, will not be left behind or forgotten. With Athena, our story continues.

We are Resurget. History in the making.

Coming this fall.
