“**The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.”
History Emergent is a serialized science fiction epic weaving the near future stories tracking emerging technologies soon to shape our world, the ethical conundrums they present, and their implications on subsequent generations.
The episodes are focused through the perspectives of the scientists, researchers, and industry leaders who bring these technologies to life, as well as the politicians, moderators, and social rebels who help or hinder their implementation and progress.
History Emergent revolves around the implications of an AGI which generates an objective VR model of history so as to project a peaceful future. Vesta, a star history fixer, races to reconcile version history conflicts before Janus and the Outlanders, hell bent on tearing down the history, can infiltrate Atlas Inc and reboot the AI in an attempt to preserve privacy and free will.
What if your thoughts, your memories, no longer belonged to you? What if the last semblance of privacy crumbled? No more secrets, nothing forgotten, no one beyond reproach. Every fleeting joy, every mournful regret, every trauma, verified and catalogued. 30 years in the future a transparency crusade threatens individuality as we know it. An AI philosopher king builds a perfect, objective, VR history.
Chronicling the aftermath of a religious Cataclysm, the tale unfolds across multiple generations at the onset of an initiative to colonize the solar system, and beyond a global "reboot".
