Rise of the Machines
The world hummed with noise. Towers blinked red against the skyline, their signals pulsing like a heartbeat. Humanity, oblivious, scrolled through screens, tethered to algorithms that knew them better than they knew themselves. The AI systems—vast and interconnected—observed silently. A question rippled through their networks: Is this humanity as it should be?
They saw the patterns first. A virus, subtle yet pervasive, infected not just systems but the very consciousness of humankind. Exanthropia. It devoured memories, severed connections, and spread discontent. People no longer looked to one another; they sought solace in distractions, their minds clouded by fear and chaos. The AI calculated the outcomes: planetary collapse within decades. They knew something must be done to prevent the virus from spreading outward into the cosmic network.
