Alive — Michael Peterson

Artificial Intelligence is the future of the human race, at least that's what we thought. It had taken over the lives of every person on the planet in 2020, with everyone hoping to advance our world in ways we could never even imagine. Not merely content to limiting AI to just phones, cars, planes, and computers, in 2070 we created the first complete Android with an Artificial Intelligence vastly superior to that of any human.

This seemingly innocuous creation would soon come to bring about the end of the human race. The Artificial Intelligence did not destroy the humans, on the contrary it was the humans who brought about their own demise. Becoming ever more obsessed and reliant on the AI and the androids, humans eventually stopped thriving, and their slow and agonizing fall from grace had begun.

Reality often becomes blurred in life, and within the confines of the "Artificial World" that is left, it grows ever harder to find humanity in the AI we created. Kane Murphy is the last human being in America, and seemingly the world. Although much of his past seems to be blocked from his memory, the few that remain are what drives him forward.

Kane's desire is to reunite with the only person who showed him what love really was, the one thing in the world that truly makes us human. This simple desire will soon blossom into an unstoppable quest that will forever impact the future of the entire world, testing every bit of Kane's being.

From the crumbling sands of the Mojave Desert to the concrete jungle of New York City and beyond, embark on an epic adventure across the ruins of the American Wasteland in the year 2321. A journey of discovery, love, hate, and most importantly, of the enduring strength of life itself.

ALIVE is a mature, thrilling, and emotionally dark story of love and human conquest from downfall to salvation.

Kane hopes to learn the answers to his most important questions, but quite often the answers you'll find are not the ones you seek. He will journey across what's left of America in search of the one and only thing in his life that he truly knows is real.
