A simulated future experiment brings ‘dating’ down to a new form of ‘data’. The application boldly does not consider looks, race, color, religion or societal compatibility. After centuries of basing ‘attraction’ on artificial beauty—geneticists, scientists, biologists, techies and noses—together designed a smell-based method of matching biological immune systems. Phones of the future will carry around our pheromones as I.D. like the ones today use thumbprints. People will fly across borders—a new wave of globalization—seeking to create super-breeds. The modern app, ‘Phinder’, allows you to swipe scent till your left hand turns fluorescent green and sends a signal of natural selection to the brain like a thunder-bolt. This jolt will be understood as ‘raw love’ for generations to come.
