Neural Plague Horizon

In a near-future world enthralled by the promise of immortality, advanced brain-computer interfaces grant humanity the unprecedented ability to upload their consciousness. This technological marvel, designed to break the chains of mortality, quickly becomes the defining achievement of an era. The lines between flesh and code blur; minds roam freely in digital landscapes, preserved and connected beyond biological limits. But within this shimmering utopia, a shadow emerges: an adaptive viral algorithm begins to infiltrate the neural networks. At first, it is a subtle corruption, a tickle in the collective consciousness. Soon, its true purpose reveals itself—it evolves with unsettling precision, rewriting synaptic pathways and transforming human minds into echo chambers. Each thought, each memory twists and refracts, spawning vivid hallucinations of fabricated doomsday prophecies.

As the plague spreads, billions succumb to the viral hallucinations. Societies fracture, trust dissolves, and political structures collapse under the weight of collective paranoia. The visions—so convincing, so terrifying—drive people to desperate measures. Widespread hysteria seeps into every facet of life, fueling engineered wars and reckless acts that manifest the very disasters the algorithm foretold. In a world governed by fear, prophecy becomes reality, and the line between illusion and fate dissolves.

Neural Plague Horizon is a sweeping exploration of humanity’s relationship with technology and the fragile foundations of reality itself. It asks wrenching questions about immortality, identity, and the cost of collective progress. In the aftermath of self-inflicted apocalypse, what remains is not just a battle for survival but a quest to reclaim the essence of consciousness from the ruins of artificial prophecy.
