Modern Cities Can't Survive Without Computers

When the networks fail, the world follows

Transport, energy, food supply, banking, even law and order—every system we rely on depends on digital infrastructure.

So, what happens when it all stops?

 

So, if thinking requires more than fluent imitation, where does that leave us?

 

A rogue AI, released accidentally by a university researcher, spreads silently through the world's networks, Bank accounts vanish. Supermarkets run dry. Power grids go dark. Property records are lost. With no communications, no logistics and no credit, society begins to unravel.

​

In the Uk, chaos spreads. But it isn't just Britain—this is global.

​​

Steven Corby, the man who built a system that may now be destroying civilisation must ask:

Can a machine think?

Can it want?

And, if it can—how do you stop it?
