One hundred years from now there will be no war, disease, or natural disasters. Science will allow the leaders of humanity, the seven presidents of the United Nations to control nearly every aspect of nature to ensure the survival of the human species...but how will they ensure that they remain in power? In Jesstin Chander's short story Destiny ex Machina, a potential answer to the question that all heads of state have had since the dawn of man is given. What if science could help us achieve immortality? What if the human soul could be simplified into the digital realm of zeros and ones? What would the result be if world leaders could reign eternally, enacting their will with the cold efficiency of a computer program? What if in order to achieve this control, they needed to create a smaller and more manageable population on earth? And would anyone be able to do something to stop them....
