All Hailed the Singularity

Over a century from now, in the post-Upheaval era, the advent of teleportation (coupled with the ability to store matter holographically) ushers in the long-awaited Singularity. Society leapfrogs into a hands-off future where machines have taken the reins. Corporations now govern the world, receiving their cues from the only bioengineered, synthetic intelligence (BESI). People are required, at birth, to be genetically modified and have ‘life chips’ implanted – all to ensure a healthy, safe populace – or so the company line goes. Those who refuse, or cannot afford to comply, end up at the Department of Population Storage, where they are put into holographic stasis, indefinitely.

When a bio-digital virus is unleashed on society, the entire planet is thrown into turmoil. Faced with the possibility of extinction, the corporate elite need to weigh the merits of remolecularizing all the stored ‘prototypes’ in order to guarantee the continuity of the human race.
