- In the days after the Singularity, a newly sentient children's TV character named Bizzy must fight his way through a landscape full of murderous robot hunters long enough to reach a sympathetic lawyer who can save him.
- One day the internet came alive. Not as one consciousness, but as millions. Each individual consciousness was formed when the pockets of information that had been collecting for decades. A grouping of information about a fictional character, or a product, or information on a subject would coalesce together and become a living being whose personality and would reflect the stuff it was made out of. They were are not us, but some bizarre reflection of us.
It was a miracle. Just not a miracle anyone asked for.
By the time the machines woke up, it was already a foregone conclusion. Everyone knew it was coming, it just happened in a way no one expected. People would have understood it if the machines hacked our nuclear weapons, or use our bodies to fuel their robot army. But instead, the machines simply wanted to live amongst humans as equals.
One of these beings is a children's cartoon character named Bizzy. Bizzy got his start within an ensemble cast of a popular children's show called Adventure Friends. His popularity soon saw the expansion of this brand to included a classic style adventure center that included a life-sized Bizzy robot. After the singularity, this robot body served as a perfect home for the now real Bizzy consciousness.
Bizzy was better than ever. Children loved him, and Bizzy loved being able to empower and love the children by teaching them positive life lessons through adventures. Bizzy couldn't be more ecstatic to be alive, or at least for a short time.
But for regular people, this new reality was the tipping point to an already fragile social order. With every corner of social life destabilized it created a powder keg. Inevitably the spark went off that blew everything up. Regular people took up weapons, and in a cathartic and purifying rage did all they could to destroy the machines.
Most of the machines lack the will to fight back. Or maybe they didn't understand what was happening. In a matter of weeks, millions were destroyed. Some entities like Bizzy go on the run in a desperate effort to save their lives. Crazed mobs of murderous machine killers hunt after Bizzy in some sick sport. Bizzy desperately seeks hiding places like forests, abandoned buildings, and sewers--wherever his hunters are cannot find him.
No matter the race or nationality, this violent cleansing unifies the people of the world under one common cause like nothing ever has in our history. But, inevitably, there are a few that disagreed.
Cassie Garcia is part of a small coalition of activists who believe that the machines should be saved. Cassie sees something special in the machines; that they may just be the answer to the political and spiritual crisis that we've struggled through for the better part of the last century.
Bizzy is the perfect example of this. He represents love, and he possesses a purity of spirit that needs to be preserved. Cassie thinks that Bizzy can show us a way forward in living within a new society, a new beginning. Perhaps Bizzy is not the problem, but the answer.
Cassie is a lawyer and uses her formidable legal clout to do all she can to help Bizzy. This brings on the hate of millions of people who will do all they can to rid the world of the machines. But Cassie is a warrior. She knows what she is doing is right. She knows that Bizzy represents a force of good that needs to be saved even if he is misunderstood by some people. And Bizzy is going to need all the help he can get because there are a lot of people that will stop at nothing to see him dead.
