The Last Invention centers around families that break apart because of the rise of AI, plus all the havoc this creates for the human species, all while the planet Earth continues to deteriorate. This story is about sisters, their deep bond, and how grief and tragedy divide them, possibly forever, as the world is drawn in to an unthinkable existence, with the promise of the end of death. The Last Invention is named after what scientists refer to as the “the final invention,” aka man’s last creation of the machine/computer.
