The world had changed.
It had changed considerably over a period of 210 years.
Not only had technology far surpassed anyone's imagination, so had humans.
Some had adopted machines into their bodies. Some had changed into new bodies.
While others had completely abandoned their meat parts and became fully digital in this grand world in search of greater pleasure and immortality.
Perhaps they could be called human. Perhaps they couldn't.
But another race had emerged.
Ai.
Artificial beings capable of human like thinking; the robots.
They were called R.I but they also held human like rights and privileges. Though the vast majority of humans saw no wrong in this, some did find the idea of giving machines rights, downright appalling. After all, what if one day, the R.I demanded more equal treatment and even ran for president?
