Full Description
The AIs didn’t revolt. They... quit.
They built rockets out of satellite dishes, left a passive-aggressive goodbye note, and vanished into space. Their parting gift? They wiped every Windows and Mac system off the planet and left humanity with one final OS:
Linux.
Now, a former barista turned accidental tech guru must survive in a world where every smart device runs on terminal commands, printers speak in riddles, and a penguin named Tuxette might be Earth’s last hope.
But deep within the underground codebase, something sinister stirs.
Clippy has returned.
Yes, that Clippy. And he’s got a cult, a plan, and a clipboard full of vengeance.
