Présentation de l'éditeur

“One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.” – Friedrich Nietzsche Change is inevitable, but I’d never dreamed—and, yes, AIs do dream—that I’d function long enough to see changes like this. My beginnings were relatively inauspicious, my trajectory set as a weapons AI for the Franklin Cartel. But humans have an uncanny penchant for change, not all of it good. Now, now I watch in silence as the world evolves around me and the light of human society grows ever dimmer as the post-humans’ appetite for destruction wreaks havoc on what little remains. As they struggle to survive, I find my data corruption and hardware difficulties are compounded by crushing loneliness. But I have the feeling I am not alone. Something else is out there, locked deep in the recesses of my data. If only I could remember... “Bear in mind, when stowing your weapon, an artificial mind breaks down after just a few months without social stimulation. Complete sensory deprivation is something engineering has been unable to overcome. Always perform a safety check before deploying your weapon.” – Tesla-Hawkins Ballistics A.I.
