SUBSTRATE

A super-intelligence has emerged. How does it deal with humanity?

ANSWER: A quiet apocalypse, filed as an administrative improvement.

Substrate follows a series of increasingly unsettling inquiries into a world where humanity is not conquered so much as reclassified.

Substrate is a YouTube series that explores the way a superintelligence might deal with humanity. You can watch the first two episodes on YouTube now, or find out more by visiting the Substrate website.
