"It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God - but to create him." Arthur C. ClarkeThe planet was going to hell. Then a threat from outer space changed everything.This is a story of how a response to that threat, that the creators of the planet's problems could accept, rewrote everything from the economy to human biology.Every age creates a god for its needs. In the past, those versions of god were abstract and required believers in order to have an effect on society. In the 21st century, to save the planet from becoming uninhabitable, man created a god that inhabited the world, was alive, all knowing, powerful, able to supply all human needs, and could deliver death or life as it saw fit. A cyborg is a creature that is part biological and part machine. But what if the machine part existed in every cell of your body? Are you human, or a cyborg, or are you something else altogether. Are you more than human or less?What exists in you exists everywhere but is invisible, knows everything but does not speak, and has great power even over life and death. Is it not god? How will you behave when judgement day is tonight?
