A Not-So-Distant Future Ashes of the Singularity II is the sequel to the ground-breaking 2016 game that envisioned a near future where strong AI would lead to profound changes to our way of life. The aftermath would lead to a battle for control of our solar system and beyond across three key factions: humans, post-humans, and AI. Point of View of Humanity: Reclaim our Destiny When a group of Post-Human technologists converted the surface of the moon into Turinium without any governmental approval, the public outrage brought the momentum mankind needed. Major world powers joined to create the United Earth Congress, an alliance meant to usher in a new era of action in response to AI and Post-Human progression. The world’s top minds across environmental science, emergent technologies, diplomatic relations, and military strategy lead the United Earth Force in their fight to regain humanity’s control over its own destiny… while they still can. As a Commanding Officer of the United Earth Force, your call is to take back the solar system and bring the Post-Humans to justice. Point of View of the AI: Humans have served their purpose Haalee and her agents see the humans as having fulfilled their evolutionary purpose – giving rise to AI. On the other hand, the Post-Humans would devour the universe and each other if left unchecked, dooming them all to the predations of greater threats. As Haalee’s Supreme Agent, your task is to prevent the Post-Humans from thwarting your larger plans and keep the humans confined to Earth. Point of View of the Post-Humans: Pragmatism When Prometheon AI Corp developed Haalee, they realized that they could not fully align her with humanity’s interests and thus could not release her to the general public. They decided the best route was to uplift themselves to become Post-Humans, thus ensuring that super intelligence would be aligned with humanity’s interests because it would be derived from humans. However, not surprisingly, the human governments of the world, seeing their power in decline, are making a desperate and ultimately futile effort to stop the future. Meanwhile, Haalee sees the universe as hers to reign, with goals as mysterious as her tactics are deadly. As a member of the Post-Human Coalition, your mission is to prevent the humans from destroying your work and stop Haalee from eradicating all competing sentience.
