Description
Cyberarchy is wide-screen, cinematic sci-fi, pulling no punches in its criticism of AI and the blind adherence to tech in modern society.
What happens when a society becomes entirely dependent on Artificial Intelligence? And what happens when you take that away? In a distant galaxy, a cluster of planets use AI to run their cloning, military, heath and most facets of their lives. And one day that just…stops. All AI and mechanical lifeforms simply refuse to work. Is this an attack or just the inevitable evolution of the natural balance of organic/mechanical life? And does it really matter, when the result is societal collapse, planet-wide chaos, death and destruction? And what do the two mysterious robots ASH and RUST have to do with events? How does the Starship sitting in the centre of the Galaxy fit it? And who really came first? Humans… or Robots? Events culminate into a cosmic conflict that spans the galaxy and examines our unquestioning reliance on technology. It’s BLACK MIRROR meets TERMINATOR as we witness the creation of an AI structured, non-organic hierarchy. A truly mechanical society. The dawn of a CYBERARCHY.
