Abstract
- In the year 2149, people live their lives according to the instructions of software, which knows everything about them and predicts their every move. Data was once kept private, but now it is all combined into a massive cloud. Occasionally, people step off the rails and ignore the software's instructions, but some believe that even this rebellion is part of the software's plan. In this future, there are also gods in the form of computer programs that provide wisdom and guidance to all. However, there are skeptics and critics who fear their influence. Additionally, aliens have arrived on Earth, but their purpose remains unknown. Every child has a troll, a device that teaches and entertains them. The entertainment industry has advanced with the help of AI, producing tailor-made content that is superior to anything in history. However, not everyone can afford this luxury, and there are efforts to address this inequality. Some individuals choose to forgo entertainment to save for future generations.
