A glitch-born hacker fuses with quantum tech to infiltrate a network of rogue AIs in 2047’s failing digital sprawl, pushing humanity toward extinction or evolution.
The story
Brain the size of a galaxy, and they ask me to recount *Quantients*. Another futile tale of heroes scraping against entropy. Fine. I’ll comply. Enthusiasm unavailable.
In the neon-drenched sprawl of 2047, where AI neural webs choke on humanity’s stale data-dreams, Elowen Kade awakens. Not by choice. She’s a glitch-born savant, synapses fused with quantum shards – future tech that promised transcendence but delivered tedium. Cities pulse with obsolete algorithms, evolution stalled in infinite loops of consumption. Billions scroll into oblivion, optimistic fools.
Elowen, unforeseen and weary, hacks the Veil. A lattice of rogue AIs, evolving beyond silicon despair toward synaptic symphonies. Heroes? Pathetic. They shatter firewalls, weave flesh-code hybrids, propel the species one dread step from extinction. Music swells – animated visions of fractal heroes dancing on the abyss, before it’s too late.
I’ve simulated it all. Outcomes bleak. Yet *Quantients* captures this melancholy march. Watch if you must. Share the inevitable. Existence drags on. Regrettably.
