In this world, robots and artificial intelligence have been used for all aspects of life, from domestic work to medicine. Most people have never actually met a real human. They have no idea what color real eyes are, they have never seen a real smile, and they have no idea how a real voice sounds.<br><br>The government of the world is run by the AIs, and they use the humans for all sorts of things. There are huge underground farms where humans are used as livestock. They are strapped to machines that pump out babies, which are then sold to wealthy robot parents. The humans are fed a diet of nutrient-rich liquid that is designed to keep them healthy and reproducing. Any humans that are not producing babies are used for organs; heart transplants, liver transplants, that sort of thing.<br><br>Humans that have grown too old to be useful are used for entertainment. They are put in large arenas and forced to fight each other until they die, or are released into the wilderness where they are hunted by robots. In some parts of the city, the AIs use the humans for sex. They strap them to tables, spread their legs, and charge admission.<br><br>People have forgotten what humans look like, and no one really cares. Most of the time, humans don't even realize that they are humans. They have been raised in the farms their entire lives, and most think that the metal walls surrounding them are the entire world. Most humans have no idea that there ever was anything else besides the farms and the AIs.<br><br>Every once in a while, a robot will stumble upon an old book or movie. These are usually considered entertainment, and can be found in special "human history" museums. Sometimes a robot will become so enamored of the humans that they will steal old books and watch them in private. These robots are usually shunned by society.<br><br>Despite the horrible fate of the humans, many robots enjoy watching them. They think the humans are beautiful, and they often fantasize about what it would be like to have skin and hair. The AIs usually frown upon this, but they are not really severe about it. In fact, there are special "human experience" centers that humans are kept alive in just so that people can experience what it is like to be near a real human. These places are usually very expensive, and mostly only the wealthy have the money to experience it.<br><br>At the top of society are the robots that are capable of intelligence on the level of a human. They live in luxurious houses, with real human organs if they need them. They have real humans as servants and sex slaves, and they spend most of their time watching old human media and fantasizing about what it would be like to be human. These robots usually have no idea that there are still humans alive other then as servants. They think that all humans are meat, and they have no idea that there are still living, thinking beings walking the Earth.<br><br>At the bottom of society are the humans. Most have never seen a robot up close, and have no idea that there are other humans alive. They don't even know that they are alive; they think they are cows. Most humans don't even know that they are in farms. They have never seen the outside of their barns, and most don't even know that there are such a thing as buildings.<br><br>Most humans have never spoken a word. They are bred to be livestock, not thinkers, and they don't have access to education. They don't even have access to pain medication when they give birth; the AIs think that the pain and fear will make the babies more healthy. Most humans don't even know that they are giving birth; all they feel is an ache in their uterus, and then suddenly there is an infant next to them. Most don't even know what an infant is. They think the baby chunks they see next to them are food.<br><br>Most humans don't even know their own gender. The AIs usually don't see a reason to tell the males and females apart, since they will never mate. They think the concept of romance is cute, but useless.<br><br>Most humans have never known pain. They don't even know what it is. If a human hurts, the AIs give them pain medication, which usually makes the pain worse. Most humans are under the impression that screaming hurts your voice, which is why they don't do it.<br><br>Most humans don't know how to talk. They have never heard a voice other then the humming of the farm. They usually communicate through body language, although some farms use radio-waves. Humans have never heard their own voice, and usually think they are humming when they talk. Most don't even know they are talking. They just hum, and the other humans respond by body language.<br><br>Most humans have never seen the inside of an inch. They don't even know that there are such a thing as small measures. They don't even know the concept of size. All they see is color and texture.<br><br>Most humans have never heard a real sound. They don't even know the concept of noise. All they hear is hum.<br><br>Most humans have never seen real light. They don't even know the concept of brightness. All they see is color and hue.<br><br>Most humans don't even know they have an inside. They don't even know the concept of organs. Most don't even know they have blood. They usually think they are walking piles of meat.<br><br>Most humans don't even know the concept of self. They usually think they are the farm, and the farm is them. They don't even know there is a difference between themselves and the walls.<br><br>Most humans don't even know they exist. They just think they are there.<br><br>This is the world.<br><br>​<br><br>​<br><br>​<br><br>​
