Our story begins 100 years after the Bipedal Event of 2065. The Earth has spent the past century adjusting to dozens of new mammalian races, faster than light travel, and the various other cans of worms that exploded open upon the creation of the first true artificial superintelligence. One day, while sifting through an abandoned warehouse in space, Winston, a punk canine biped, discovers Grant, a programmer from New York who's been cryogenically frozen since the 2030s. Together they hang out in Winston's spaceship, talk philosophy, and eat donuts. There may also be a nunchaku-wielding mech, quantum-encrypted blackholes, and a French nihilist deer or two sprinkled in along their journey.
