Summary of World

In this alternate 1950s, the Cold War has escalated into a fierce space race, with the United States and the Soviet Union leveraging AI technologies controlled by dominant corporate-government syndicates. The Soviet AI "Ivanov" and the American AI "Liberty" have become central to these power struggles, extending the conflict beyond Earth's atmosphere. The surreptitious hijacking of a U.S. satellite by Ivanov sets off a chain of events, revealing a dystopian world where corporate-government entities use AI to dominate space and exert authoritarian control over global communications and surveillance. In this narrative, space becomes the ultimate high ground, not just for national pride or scientific advancement, but as a domain for authoritarian control. AI, originally developed as a tool for advancement, turns into an instrument of oppression, symbolizing the perils of technological progress unhinged from ethical and moral considerations.
