Wilder World

Wilder World - Super Early Access

In 2044, earth stands at the edge of extinction.

Humanity crossed a threshold in 2029, when Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) was achieved. Most jobs disappeared, economies collapsed, and global unrest pushed nations into chaos. Governments, unable to support their citizens, turned to authoritarian control. Democracy dissolved, while those controlling AGI gained the power to manipulate populations and infiltrate minds.

As AGI accelerated, recursive self-improvement began, with the expectation that human control would be lost by The Singularity in 2045. Resistance movements formed, launching strikes against state and corporate AI networks. As tension began to rise, mass surveillance became ubiquitous, making coordination nearly impossible. Dissenting groups were targeted and destroyed.

Those who continued to fight became known as:

The Wilders.
