Description

“Do you remember the taste of the water? Recycled so many times it could never be made pure again? … Do you remember the taste of metal in the air? The stink of 20,000 souls crammed into a shelter designed for half that number?”

By the year 2449, human civilization has all but collapsed and the survivors live in squalid, underground shelters, barely heated by failing nuclear reactors and survivors subsist on a diet of yeast and recycled water. The surviving humans are ruled by an advanced quantum artificial intelligence known only as the Director who has developed the ability to send data including messages, artificial intelligence, and even human consciousness – back in time via quantum entanglement. The only hope remaining for humanity is the Traveller programme – and you have volunteered to be a traveller, to go on a one-way trip back to the early 21st century and attempt to change the direction of the future. It will mean leaving behind everyone you know and love and if you succeed they will never have existed, but the chance of a brighter future – in fact any future – for humanity is a prize worth great sacrifice. You go through the training for many months and finally you and your team are ready for the transfer process. You have a plan, you’ve trained for this. You executed your first mission without a hitch, but you’re still here so obviously there must be more to do. And then a messenger is sent from the Director with your new orders…
