Granted: late in 2010 an artificial stem cell was created, running on LINUX, it was capable of altering other human cells to any tissue type. By 2018 these cell/nanite hybrids were heralded as the fountain of youth, and injected into everyone at birth. Able to fix anything from a headache to regenerate major limbs, a medical miracle. However, it wasn't long before it was discovered they could also be used to connect to computers and between people. In 2021 "Mynet" the ultimate social networking site was created, and immediately became self aware. By 2025, 95% of humanity consisted of one mind. Freedom fighters mainly from the aspie community (most of whom shuttered at the idea of social networking and angered by the attempts to "cure" aspergers, saying "we aren't sick, just different") sent me back in time to stop this abomination from occuring!
I wish I could stop obsessing over wrongplanet.net and get back to saving humanity.
