Very nice idea for a story. If we could work it out to make some of the more implausible parts sound more plausible (like fitting the entire human race into one machine when the population is growing exponentially—this better be pretty far in the future and just after another World War or something). Also, I might increase the number from 1,000. That seems an awfully low number of people to put the rest of humanity’s hope on.
Other than that, very interesting concept that should be pretty sequel-able.
