Galatea's War

The story snippets contained in this writing piece are based on a book idea called Galatea's War. It is ultimately a work in progress. The story takes place in a theoretical post-apocalypse in the year 57 A.R (after a biogenetically engineered plague created for population control wiped out 45% of the human race.) Those that could afford to escape the plague (typically the rich and influential) transferred their consciousness into what is essentially artificial intelligence as their bodies were ravaged. A minor percentage of their human corpse was retrofitted into these machines and these were dubbed Carcasses by the rest of the population. Of course, machines come with their own sets of viruses, and a good majority of these creations were infected with a sort of malware that led to essentially a war between humans (also known as Fleshies) and Carcasses.
