Adam Jensen is depicted as Icarus in the cinematic trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.The commentary video, titled "The End of the Icarus Myth," also mentions that Dubai was intended to depict a wealthy city that suffered for embracing augmentation too eagerly in other words, "reaching for the sun too soon." According to developer commentary, this scene was intended to symbolize the end of the golden age of augmentation, and the beginning of a new chapter in which mankind has suffered from human augmentation, resulting in public backlash against the technology. In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the opening scene in Dubai shows Jensen diving downward from the sky with the sun and sea in the background. The sun has also been associated with the golden age of augmentation in general. At the end of Human Revolution, the Aug Incident, which was made possible by widespread adoption of human augmentation, results in a great deal of destruction. The story of Human Revolution extends the notion that human augmentation may have unexpected consequences. In the novel Deus Ex: Icarus Effect, the metaphor of flying "too close to the sun" is used to describe the notion that due to human augmentation, human society may be advancing at pace that is too rapid. ![]()
