The problems of the world have consumed it; over-population, depleted energy resources, a sick environment, a world of thoughtless individuals.
The city is a reflection of the people who created it. Selfishness, greed, indecision, hopelessness, apathy and fiddling has resulted in 'parametric' brutal machines in which the world's people now live.
Regardless of all the technology, science, information, no-one has prevented repetitious 1960s housing commission style architecture from taking over the world.
At first, the machines' stirring was subtle - the lethargy that plagues the human race had prevented anyone from noticing. While humans slept, these machines oiled their joints and whirred their robotic arms. If anyone had bothered to take an interest in the world around them then, they might have seen the parasitic mechanical arms beginning to pervade the built environment.
And then, these brutal machines were ready to move, the goal of total domination in sight. Sometimes they marched in packs. Other times they roamed the streets individually, like a predator stalking its prey.
What a grim outlook.
There is still hope - if people wake up now and stop fiddling before the world around them evolves into one large housing estate.
