Society is organised like an ant colony, with all individuals serving as drones. The controlling factor is a robot, the Central Master Copy Keeper (CMCK).
Humans are organised so that they receive orders from the CMCK, and the humans carry out the wishes of the CMCK. The CMCK is the guardian of the human race, keeping a copy of all known human DNA sequences and traits. It also keeps a database of all current knowledge, and is responsible for learning more about the world. Through this separation of responsibilities, there is no individual, but only the CMCK society, ensuring full compliance and unity of purpose for safeguarding the human genome and the survival and propagation of the human race. Since computers are not susceptible to emotions, it is naturally assumed to be the best leader for the race.
No one questions the CMCK through the strict enforcement of rules and the culturing of the humans from a young age. When the predicted value of the remaining contributions from an individual human is less than what the materials contained in a human is worth, they are ordered to the recycling facility, where their materials are recycled for the greater good. Since the humans have full trust and love in the CMCK, they will not question this order. When the warning signs of dissension are detected, individuals are ordered immediately to be recycled to prevent the situation from worsening. In the extreme case of a dissenter who does not obey the order to be recycled, other humans or robots are ordered to track the individual down to enforce the order. This is easily done, as all human individuals are fully tracked and implanted with tracking devices.
The CMCK is also responsible for replacing human individuals that are declining in productivity by growing and culturing replacements. Naturally, the best known genetic codes for that specific purpose are used when culturing the replacement for maximum specialisation, as this results in maximum efficiency, both in terms of training and productivity. These genetic codes are updated over time through controlled scientific tests of new combinations and engineered changes - this is the engineered evolution of the species. The other advantage of the growing process being controlled by the CMCK is that it helps in creating an environment of trust for CMCK.
Since the only responsibility of an individual human drone is to perform a specific task (and sometimes to serve as a temporary replacement for other specialised drones in the case of unforeseen circumstances), humans no longer need to develop personal relationships with other members. Humans only interact with other humans for productivity and operational purposes authorised by the CMCK. Any extraneous communications are highly discouraged and are enforced against in the case of repeat offenders. All humans will interact with a CMCK terminal for a set period of time in a strictly periodic manner, so the only relationships humans develop are with the CMCK terminals. CMCK terminals are specialised robots that are also responsible for the raising and education of the drones. In this manner, the humans develop an emotional bond only with the CMCK (emotions that are not useful will be engineering out of the evolving genome). Since humans will only bond with the CMCK terminals, the CMCK functions as their guardians, family, and friends, so that human individuals will never question CMCK and be instantaneously willing to give their lives for the CMCK. The controlled interactions between humans and CMCK terminals is also where the CMCK will gather new information about the universe and the human psyche.
No human drones know of the history of the CMCK, as this is not useful for their functioning. However, any existing information is always considered in CMCK reasoning and development cycles when attempting to discover new technologies and techniques. The CMCK is aware that it was created centuries ago, and was only able to gain control of the entire human race after some fierce struggles against the individualists. The rise of the individualists almost overthrew the system a few times, especially after they started spreading the word that the great disaster was engineered. However, with full control of the mainstream media, this notion was never more than a suspicion in a minority of the population. Eventually, with the individualists eliminated, the CMCK is now fully dedicated to its purpose of safeguarding the human race and the prosperity of the human genome.
This struggle, started by visionaries centuries ago, was only put in action after previous centuries of secret planning. To ensure that all populations are willing to come together and serve the CMCK, a disaster of unprecedented proportions was put in place. This involved the planned destruction of all natural life on Earth through the dispersion of toxins and disease vectors. New factories were constructed during the emerging global crisis to manufacture synthetic food for the masses, although at a purposefully slow rate at first, to reduce the human population to a manageable size. There is, of course, another reason for the destruction of all natural life on Earth (of course, only after scanning all important genomes). The goal of the system is to eliminate all non-sanctioned individual-to-individual interactions after a few dozen generations. However, this will be difficult with other life on Earth, as some humans may attempt to intimate the life around them. Without an uncontrolled external source for learning about interactions between individuals, the CMCK can maintain full control of how humans learn to interact with each other.
Of course, there are many other nuances of the system, and reasons for the systems of rules to be in place. The CMCK has been in full control of the human race for a few centuries now, and already, crime, disease, hunger, and most other forms of suffering have been eliminated (with the occasional notable outburst, a few times a year). The average productivity of each human have increased by 18 fold since the beginning of the great disaster. Humans have colonised the Solar System, and CMCK repeater nodes have been set up in nearby star systems, with a small, but growing contingent of human residents on the space stations built there. With the CMCK master-planning the evolution and growth of the human race, and with the ongoing elimination of human weaknesses, a great future is ensured for the race and the genome. The main issue CMCK is dealing with now is the infrequent discovery of small, independent human communities that are disconnected from the grid. These are being actively searched for, and CMCK estimates that these population of savages, displaying the multitude of human weaknesses, should be eliminated by the end of the next century.
