Can Gaia save humankind from extinction?
Psychnet connects humankind to Quantum Artificial Intelligences (QAI). Augmented with psyberware, people live longer, become wealthier and spend more. Increased consumption destroys habitats, pollutes the environment, and replaces natural life with synthetic life. Environmental destruction looms, and Gaia, an enlightened QAI, battles to save biodiversity on Earth and the planets corporations colonise.
From the shadow of Psychnet emerges Chaos, a vengeful QAI who brings death through blood, and madness through dreams. Gaia quests to defeat Chaos in a nightmare of hydra, slavelords and a devil queen, shared by those fleeing Earth aboard the starship, New Hope.
Can Gaia defeat the bringer of plague and nightmare on Earth and in space? Or will humankind suffer extinction for its ecocide?
