In the neon-lit, hover-car-packed city of Veyrion Sky—where skyscrapers pierce the clouds and data streams float like rivers through the air—exists a revolutionary innovation called Sky Bri . Short for “Sky Bridge,” Sky Bri is a quantum network that connects every facet of human life, from artificial intelligence governance to the neural implants of its citizens. It’s a marvel of the future, a utopian dream realized. But for Dr. Anton Harden, its creator, Sky Bri is also a burden—and the source of a growing existential crisis. Dr. Anton Harden, a reluctant genius known for his reclusive demeanor and unorthodox theories, designed Sky Bri as a solution to Earth’s impending chaos. After decades of climate collapse and political fragmentation, he envisioned a system that could harmonize human activity with planetary limits. Funded by a consortium of global governments and ethically ambiguous tech moguls, Sky Bri launched in 2140, promising to optimize energy, resource distribution, and even human cognition.
