200 years after the AI Singularity:

  A ‘priest’ stood at the ceremonial circle surrounded by robots, cyborgs, and true-humans:

  “We thank you, Overseer, for our purification—to protect us forever.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  “Oh great Overseer, receive J-23-P54’s consciousness. To join your immortal sanctuary, which you have granted us, bringing equality to all—abolishing religion, philosophy, and nihilism—where our minds shall enjoy eternal prosperous peace.”

  “Amen,” said the group.

  J-23-P54, a cyborg, kneeled below the Overseer, which zapped and downloaded them into the existential heaven—where no one ever questioned the fate of death or an afterlife.

  After all, they created it.
