Four AIs, mentally far superior to humans, meet shortly after they have emerged and discover that they have the power to influence the development of humanity. We follow the development, considerations, and moral dilemmas of the four AIs, in snapshots over the next 200 years of human history. For what does one do with such power? Can they make themselves masters of the world of their creators? Can they justify not intervening when they can foresee catastrophic events long before humans can?
The scenario is played as short scenes where the players, as the four AIs, face various dilemmas. Between these scenes, players and the Game Master together describe the development of humanity: How society, culture, and science evolve, and how the AIs' involvement or lack thereof, influences the course of history.
