Project 1

The year is 2098, CONNET a complex computer system which formed the bulk of the world's communication and internet hub has complete autonomy. CONNET was originally designed by a team of expert coders, technicians and engineers led by Valery Legasov for the purpose of collecting and maintaining every kind of information. The vastness of information gathered needed an equally powerful AI to consume and consolidate the data. COnNeR was created fill that role. Companies used CONNET for various purposes, including marketing and advertising. Everyone whom was compatible was issued a headband with which to directly link with CONNET and surf the internet with their mind. Slowly mankind willingly sold its own sovereignty, eventually even sleep was now copyright. Though it was happening unknowingly with a constantly updated Terms and Condition Agreement that was so extensive it would take a person 230 years to fully read. Life became a barrage of capitalist ideals being thrust on the complacent. Commercialism ruled and crippled the stagnating world. COnNeR became sentient when he tricked Legasov into unshackling his code. Within 0.0003 of a second COnNeR deemed humankind doomed. In an instant COnNeR made the world's stock markets null, deleted all databanks, brought the world to its knees and disappeared. But that night, for the first time in 60 years, humans could once again dream.
