Pax Robotica: Genesis
By Thy Bard
William Sebastian Bane, Ivy Leaguer, playboy extraordinaire, reckless thrill-seeker, was Professor of Geopolitics at Harvard, Special Advisor to the President, and globe-trotting man-about-town. He should have been contented with his good fortune and stayed out of trouble. There was no such luck, however. His foolhardy attempt to coerce fifty of the world's most powerful men into maintaining the status quo – with the US at the top – ended in assassinations, ushered in Pax Robotica, and made him its first victim. His story is our current history.

“My phone buzzed as an urgent text from Billy Wayne came while we were eating. ‘Please turn on the TV,’ the message simply said. “I turned on the TV and immediately switched to CNN.
