About
The singularity came, and all man's problems were over. Death was conquered, scarcity abolished, and anyone could have or be anything. What would become of mankind unchained?
Some were afraid. Afraid that they'd become addicted to endless ecstasy, or worse- take one upgrade too many and lose their very selves.
Omar vowed to never let that happen to him. He gathered his closest friends:
Flora, the vain artist.
Liga, the carefree hedonist.
Zhang, the defiant perfectionist.
And Colville, the melancholy dilettante.
Together, they walled themselves off from the rest of the world. And for 3000 years, it worked. Their compact lived, loved, lost, and grew together. They even found a new member: the Oracle, a computing cluster trying to reclaim her lost humanity.
But now Colville wants out. Flora will go to any lengths to keep him, but the others aren't so sure. With the compact's fate hanging in the balance, will they find a way to keep themselves together? Or will they part ways, potentially forever?
