Prologue:
The first woman president of the United States had ended her term of
office in the year 2876. Having failed to deliver on her election promises a
robot president was elected to office for the first time in history.
A red light blinked and the electric president spoke:
‘My fellow Americans, I said I would put an end to global
conflicts and the destruction of the environment and it will be accomplished.
The billion-strong Robot Protection Force, the greatest army the world has ever
seen, was deployed the instant I took office. Projections have determined that
resistance by die-hards will be eliminated within a period of two weeks. As
always we prefer cooperation to annihilation and the surrender of opposers to
the UN Global Peace Resolution will always be welcomed.
As I speak all offending entities to the UN resolution to
halt the further despoiling of Earth are being brought into submission.
Projections indicate that within a month planetary recovery by Nano’s and other
robots will be finished. We can all look forward to a much brighter future from
now on.
My thanks to our allies for their contributions.
End Speech.’
This is a work of fiction and any resemblance to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
It took 800 years for a woman to be President in the US? Ouch.
ReplyDeleteIf those bots could fix the problems in a month, they would have been unleashed soon after their creation! Perhaps this is all a dream of the builder of the first nanobots!
It took a while to iron out the bugs that would have resulted in the grey goo?
ReplyDeleteGood point!
