Phase 3 — Imagine a ‘Black Swan’ event and then create a narrative structure that unfolds as a consequence of that condition.

What if we replaced humans and put robots in place of the police force and judges to enforce logical reasoning to ensure justice?

Police killings have tripled in the year 2035 and to combat this phenomenon, the government implemented the robotic legion known as EDGAR.

“Another day, another killing. It’s hard to keep count of how many people we lose every day. I can’t even walk to get groceries without someone looking at me as if I am gonna do something. I thought we were past this? It’s just another day.”

NYT Clipping

“My friend Julius was killed today. Over a broken tail light. What the hell is that? A broken tail light? I’m losing my sanity man. When can I get out of here? When will I die?

There needs to be a place where people can freely live their lives without judgment or fear. This is our right.

Welcome to New Realm. Here, you don’t have to worry about danger. Especially from the people who should be protecting you. That’s a bit backward. We are fully accepting of all people regardless of skin, beliefs, and more. You can live your life at peace like you were always meant to. Here you are safe.

Edgar Model

“Meet EDGAR, Ensuring Daily Guarding and Relief. All citizens in New Realm have their very own EDGAR system to ensure safety and security.”

All citizens living in New Realm now have the freedom to live their lives free of fear from retaliation due to the color of their skins by the police authority.

“It’s all logical and efficient thinking for a better future and society. No more “accidental” killings we all see on the news. I could even walk around my neighborhood at night! I genuinely feel safe for myself and my friends. This is the way of the future.” — Heidi L. (Citizen of New Realm)
