The Singularity refers to the time in the future when technological advancements will have reached the point of being beyond the limits of human understanding. Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and nanotechnology will advance so far that human beings will go extinct or be radically altered. By this time, humans will learn more about extraterrestrial life through communications technology and space exploration. There will also be three generations of the Macx clan: Manfred, a businessman interested in intelligence amplification technology; his daughter, Amber, who will travel to outer space for economic opportunities; and Sirhan, Amber's son, whose destiny is connected to that of humanity. Something is systematically dismantling planets in our solar system. This force is beyond human comprehension.
