Backstory
Many years after a major breakthrough in strong AI research, we now live in a posthuman world...
It has been over a decade since Irene Axell, founder of Axell Corporations succeeded in replicating the human mind and consciousness. With her research and testing team, they successfully created the ARC (Artificial Robot Consciousness). The design team spent months perfecting the human form and engendered a new race of Self-thinking and Self-conscious robots called the Kyroid.
The First Year
During the first year of the announced launch of the Kyroids, humans around the world were in a frenzied state. Majority of the population were ecstatic by the thought of having an efficient helper at home, at work, and at school. Parents began to dream of the long get away trips they would be able to have, once they get a robot nanny to watch the kids. CEO's imagined how much more efficient their days would run, with a robot personal assistant who wouldn't forget their coffee in the morning. School's began celebrating at the thought of having more efficient security, there had been way too many kidnappings within the passed month already. Yes, majority of the world began to yearn for a life of bliss and security once they had robots in their lives. A smaller population of the world however, had watched enough science fiction films to know what their fate would be. They were terrified of a world where competent machines roamed freely among them, so they began organizing riots against Axell Corp's launch. Axell Corp began buying property in neighbourhoods around the world and started constructing houses designed for their Kyroids. Protesters tried their best to slow down the construction but more members of each neighbourhood were thrilled to have robot neighbours and protected the construction site from any protester that dared disrupt it.
