In 2055 A Hacker is Abducted

In 20xx Sci fi and Futurism

A production center makes everything locally. It even has grow towers where the produce needs of nearby citizens can be met. After the World Storm, a production center goes into sentry mode when the Internet breaks. The entire insides of the production center become a death trap as all the robots will attack people who try to get in.

Merch, a world class hacker, is abducted by a gang who make him try to hack the production center so they can get in and get enough food, water, and goods to have all they need for years.

In the course of the story Merch finds an ASI, an Artificial Super Intelligence. This machine is hundreds of times smarter than a human. If he gains access, he could change the course of humanity. As an example, with the ASI in control of the production center, it could build a robot army.

Many of the characters in this project appear in future episodes.

Using storytelling to place you in a time period, this series takes you, year by year, into the future. From 2040 to 2195. If you like emerging tech, eco-tech, futurism, perma-culture, apocalyptic survival scenarios, and disruptive science, sit back and enjoy short stories that showcase my research into how the future may play out.

This is Episode 1 of the podcast "In 20xx Scifi and Futurism." The companion site is https://in20xx.com
