The Co-Labrative is the most influential organization of the century, having solved 7 of the Top 10 Biggest World Issues[12][13]. Some of the problems the Co-Labrative has solved include: reverse global warming, reverse aging, end world hunger, cure cancer, and eradicate depression with a genetically engineered psychedelic mushroom which promotes a "having a great day everyday" feeling[6].

Soon was named Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2038[8].


Early life[edit]

Tyler Devin Soon grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3] His father, Harvey Soon, is a ukulele grand master; his mother, Linda Soon, is the 2023 Vegan Iron Chef champion. Soon has one brother, Jason Brodie Soon, who is a retired web developer and music composer for PornHub.

Soon was homeschooled, and later, sent to an experimental school. He displayed affinity towards technology and fascinations in dome-shaped communes at a young age. 

After participating in Burning Man for the first time in 2016, Soon became a regular attendee. He often credits Burning Man as a major influence on the inception of the Co-Labrative.

The Co-Labrative[edit]

In 2020, Soon published the Co-Labrative concept on Git-Hub, and continued refining the idea over the following year. By 2022, experimental groups based on this concept began to from around the world . There were 117 Co-Lab clusters worldwide by 2025. Together, these clusters created over 3,000 innovations, large and small.

After receiving $12.3 billion from global donations, including donations from Elon Musk, Tim Ferriss, and Tanya Huang, Soon began construction of the Co-Labrative main hub in Bali, Indonesia.

On July 10, 2033, the Co-Labrative opened its doors to everyone. The 30-hector site is a retreat and a live-in community. The Co-Labrative ecosystem consists of organic farms, collaboration rooms, interactive classrooms, VR holodecks, extrasensory perception labs, biohack labs, psychedelic labs, hakathon rooms, solar-powered drones and robots, spaceship launch pads, and 50,000 residents. It is frequented by over 150,000 world class scientists, artists, engineers, and inventors annually.

Besides initial donations, the Co-Labrative is self-funded with profits from its innovations. As of 2041, it generates approximately $120 billion in annual profit, and donates all profit towards improving global living standards and incubating more innovations.


Personal Life[edit]

Soon is married to Cyndi Hunter, who is also an active member of the Co-Labrative. Hunter is the UX expert behind many of the software projects at "the Lab", as she likes to call it. She co-invented the popular lawn-mowing robot sheep, citing her recurring dreams of lawn-mowing acres of Pritchard land as inspiration.

Soon is very close friends with Tanya Huang. Many believed Huang influenced the decision to make every robot at the Co-Labrative adorable, glow-in-the-dark, and rideable.

Soon also became very close friends with Elon Musk while performing a grilled cheese stunt at SpaceX's first Mars mission spaceship launch. After tasting Soon's rocket flame-licked grilled cheese sandwich, Musk immediately tweeted, "Just had the best rocket flame grilled cheese of my life!" Since then, every SpaceX rocket launch is accompanied by the SpaceX Grilled Cheese Cook Off, attracting over 20,000 avid grilled cheese and space enthusiasts worldwide.
