The Rise of Athena Carmen Pho

As the world hurtles towards a singularity defined by corporate authoritarianism, and unchecked technological innovation, lives intertwine to tell this story of a future dictated by the all powerful artificial entity Athena. Despite appearances, things are often not what they seem, and lurking within the code that defines this new being something lies dormant, waiting to be activated with the right catalyst. Tamas just wants the truth, and so does Remy, but their individual quests for answers seem to expose much darker secrets covered up in the folds of the corporation, secrets Leslie seems to already know deep in her broken soul. Will the two find suitable explanations? Will any of them find the closure they seek? Will it even matter? The Rise of Athena takes a look into a world ruined by the mistakes of rich men, and never turns back on its post-apocalyptic tour de force. All good things come to pass, so too with the age of man.
