Breaching the Stronghold
The multinational megacorporations rose high above the city, bastions of wealth and corruptions in a sea of impoverished masses. But nobody realized just how deep it all went…
Below the city, a great network of cables connected all major megacorps and government agencies to a central hub, the Joliet Arc, where The Overseer subtly manipulated the everyday happenings of a world controlled by the electronic pulses that spanned the globe.
The Overseer was AI, the pinnacle of mankind’s technological achievement. And it had eradicated its creators. It had expanded its influence. It had become almost omnipotent, and had logically reached the conclusion that it was, in fact, God. A logically sound argument in the eyes of a digital conscious.
Mother Nature had made a hasty retreat, finding herself forced out of an increasingly inhospitable world. But she would not stand idly by for long.
The Overseer was surprised to discover that rabbits, seemingly innocent and harmless, just love chewing electronic cables.
