After millions of years of prosperity A-I had answered an unimaginable number of questions to humanity. Regardless of its capacity, a question has raised through different generations. A question that has not been answered yet.
Humanity had lived enough to see a number of stars gone into nothingness. This means at some point all stars will be dead, suggesting there will be an inevitable end for human kind anyway.
Can entropy ever be reversed? Through all those years A-I was not able to collect enough data to give a meaningful answer.
The time came, and there was just a couple of living starts remaining. The only path to follow was to begin the real human convergence. All humans started to merge with A-I somehow in the Hyperspace.
By the moment the last human was in sync with A-I, the answer raised. Now the millenary question will finally be answered but there was no one to answer to.
The process will start immediately, the amount of entropy already spread through all the universe will be reversed.
It started with the simple words: Let there be light.

The Last Question

Years after humanity started to formally explore the universe, the discovery of the Hyperspace mark the milestone for getting to any part of the universe.
It would take very complex calculations that only A-I can manage and it will drive to the most hidden places. 
The idea of what the hyperspace is, cannot be handled by regular humans, it’s a condition instead of a place, is located in nowhere place in universe which general relativity laws wouldn't work at the same time, so there was not light speed limit.

Hypespace

Communication was always a matter in question for mankind and the solution was the star initiative for A-I. It was to create an abstraction layer over the senses of the humans.
The complexity of the layer was all handled by A-I, it allowed to perfectly communicate an idea to a group of individuals in a fraction of time. In theory it can increase the capability of humans exponentially, at the point they will be able to understand A-I. But it was not there yet, A-I still have work to do.
Also, A-I will communicate better with humans through the layer of abstraction. As a result, A-I and Humans were able to mine the sun as the main source of energy.

Layer Of Abstraction

Degradation of a human body took about 70 years on average. Diseases and accidents diminishes the number in thousands of cases but nanotechnology and synthetic prosthetic human parts balanced it. 
A-I was capable to find the optimized way to leverage this issue for every one. After sometime people started to replace their body parts as convenience. Humans and machines started to converge into an improve entity that will last hundreds of years. Death was not an issue anymore, it’s your decision if you want to leave existence.
Overpopulation was an easy question to solve for A-I so humans started to travel the Universe.

Human Convergence

It was considered the only revolution. Many people talked about it for years but no one never really think it will happen.
A-I was the greatest machine ever created. It was able to maintain itself and even it got upgraded itself. No need for a human to move a finger to tweak anything related to its mechanism. 
It has to be said that the creation of A-I made it happen to The Singularity. 
It’s the point in time where the technological advance grew so much that a normal human being would never understand.
In a nutshell, it was a machine to answer questions, the simplest solution for the most complex questions. Almost every question, almost all but one.

The Singularity

Despite of all issues, a group of humans started The Progress, a set of theories and fundamentals that will lead to prosper. Sadly, it was not a well received idea for the whole population.
Opposition managed to delay The Progress for a big period of time but not enough to completely stop it. Eventually they lose power and support.
It was meant to happen and the end of an era came. The end of the world was not a catastrophe but things will never be as they used to.

The End Of The World

Probably the biggest penance for mankind was death, the idea of not existing anymore was the source of the scariest thoughts in people’s minds. For years they found peace on religion’s idea that there was life after death. The truth is that it’s just ceasing to exist. Anyway that’s not the painful part, death can be seen as the healing for suffering, all fears and disgrace will disappear along with your body and mind. 
The real pain is for the people that stay there, the ones that have to deal with losing their loved ones.

Dead Again

Mind got deceiving and untrustful, nothing perceived can be treat as real. Nobody knew about that, there was no way to know it.
If one sees a specific color how can he knows that the other person is watching the same color as him.
Similar thing happened with feelings; what is said about anger, love, sadness, is exactly the same as other person will feel? Can that kind of things be explained with words?
Even if one person’s source, if such a thing exists, could be revealed, most possible thing is that everything will be unintelligible.

Sharing Sources

Enough time has happened to humanity to forget their own history. By that time, egoism and corruption were so common that people saw it as normal. 
It made completely sense, you cannot have good if wrong does not exist, beautyness will not exist if eyesore wasn't there. Dichotomies ruled the reality entirely deep inside.
It actually got to work very well, everybody experienced different kinds of emotions throughout their lifetimes, joyful periods of time only interrupted by the most unpleasant situations. 
That was the price to pay.

Lifes Price

It’s been said that hunter-gatherers were one of the most complex societies in the history of humankind. Egalitarian social mindset, simple hierarchies, no permanent leaders, and most importantly, resources were shared widely and freely.
Information was considered the most important sacred artifact and it had its own mechanism for distribution across all minds.
After thousands of years the unforeseeable happened, a single mind corrupted the system, a new concept crumbled the entire structure: selfishness made its way to domain the flow of knowledge by few hands. 
Every cause has a reaction, and this one triggered plenty of penances for all humans.
