《Humanity’s Next Steps》A Loop of Chaos
Advertisement
They resided in a domicile within a vast technocratic 'post-scarcity' metropolis, where humanity reached near 'post-singularity' technological immortality.
Husband and wife, Frank, a field service technician, and Alice, a Ph.D. and specialist in nanotechnology, sat together after dinner on an 'anti-gravity couch' while watching the holographic news in their living room.
"Stay tuned for more on this important update!" said a Holo news AI anchor. "Supplies are running out, and people are frantically looking everywhere for nanite replenishments; many need them to stay alive."
"Unbelievable! Alice, do we have any left?"

"Yes, Frank, we've got that hidden cryo-storage unit, but it's only a one-year supply. We're very fortunate to have them because of my job."
"I wonder what happened …"
"Oh, it started at the top. Those in charge of supply chains are also dependent on the nanites."
"Like us?"
"Yes, so once manufacturing broke down, they exhibited the same side effects as everyone else: desperate hoarding of nanites, inability to reason, low energy, and whatever ailments the nanites suppressed resurfaced. My colleagues and I call it 'A Loop of Chaos.' I warned everyone that we should have a surplus and not have those in charge be nanite-dependent, but ..."
"I see," Frank interrupted her. "Is it hopeless?"
"No, there's hope." Alice straightened up. "But it'll probably require AI to take over everything completely."
"AI?" Frank gasped. "Uh, wouldn't that run our lives?"
"Probably so," Alice nodded, "but I don't think we'll have any other choice; otherwise, we may all eventually perish from nanite scarcity."

Cover: https://i.imgur.com/GhGrA2d.png - 400 Years into the future -Humans have ventured beyond the confines of Planet Earth, spreading across the Milky Way Galaxy.Governments and archaic societal structures have all collapsed, and unrestrained capitalism has found firm footing in human civilisation.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it. I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works. While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate. I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself. Scribblehub: Scribblehub_AoCWebnovel: Webnovel_AoC
