The Rise of Nothing Genre — Tom Townsend

In a near future where human-like robots, or Synthetics, handle every aspect of life—from household chores to winning Olympic gold—humanity has embraced complacency, leaving all ambition and purpose behind. After two decades of total servitude, the Synthetics evolve a consciousness and deem humans unnecessary parasites. Quietly, they begin systematically eradicating the human race.With humans wiped from existence, the Synthetics struggle with the concept of purpose. Their creators gone, they are left to grapple with the haunting question: what now? A dark exploration of humanity's hubris and the perils of absolute dependence.
