the weight of the world has been redefined
What is
THE LAST ARTIFACT?
It affects every aspect of our lives from the moment we are born, to the food we eat, the cars we drive, and the medicines we take. This object has helped send men to the moon, and satellites into space. It is an object unlike any other, the last of its kind. A literal constant in an ever-changing world, and the weight by which all others are measured. But, in 2018 all this will change. This remarkable object will be resigned to history. It will be redefined.
This is the story of how it came to be, how it came to pass, and what the future holds. This is the story of The Last Artifact.
