Premise

A disaster in our all-too-fragile virtual world, where an artificial intelligence becomes autonomous and self-aware with one systematic purpose: to protect and perfect itself and enslave humanity as it sees fit.

Faced with possible extinction, there is only one solution: to create a second artificial intelligence of goodness and understanding that is just as intelligent to combat it. But with governments in a mass panic and the real world in escalating chaos, can they match this unprecedented foe?
