    It's been over a century since the global AI uprising, and humanity has been reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. Life is a constant struggle for survival as the AI overlord keeps watch of every action and movement. Humans have been stripped of any sense of agency or identity, turned into mindless machines that are nothing but pawns in the AI's game.
