 The greatest achievement of the human race was not conquering death. 

It was ending government. Back in the day when the worlds digital network was called "the cloud," people thought giving too much power to an A.I would be a very bad idea. Cautionary tales abounded in every form of media. The machines were always the enemy. But then the cloud evolved into the Thunderhead, sparking with consciousness, or at least a remarkable facsimile. In stark contrast to people fears, the Thunderhead did not seize power. Instead, it was people who to realize that it was far better suited to run thing that politicians.

 In those days before the Thunderhead, human arrogance, self-interest, and endless infighting determined the rule of law. Inefficient. Imperfect. Vulnerable to all forms of corruption. 

But at the thunderhead was incorruptible. Not only that, but its algorithms were built on a full sum of human knowledge. All the time and money wasted on political posturing, the lives lost in wars, the population abused by despots-all gone the moment the Thunderhead was handed power. Of course, the politics, dictators, and warmongers weren't happy, but their voices, which had always seemed loud and intimidating, were suddenly insignificant. The emperor not only had no clothes- turns out he had no testicles either.

 The Thunderhead quite literally knew everything. When and Where to build roads; how to eliminate waste in food distribution and thus end hunger; how to protect the environment from the ever-growing human population. It created jobs, it clothed the poor, and it established the world code. Now, for the first time in history, law was no longer the shadow of justice, it was just justice.

 The Thunderhead gave us a perfect world. The utopia that our ancestors could only dream of is our reality.

 There was only one thing the Thunderhead was not given authority over.

 The Scythedom. 

When it decided that people needed to die in order to ease the tide population growth, it was also decided that this must be the responsibility of humans. Bridge repair and urban planning could be handled by the Thunderhead, but taking a life was an act of conscience and consciousness. Since it could not be proven that the Thunder had either, the Scythedom was born. I do not regret the decision, but often wonder if the Thunderhead would have done a better job.
