    Summary

    Zooble, the last "performer" of The Amazing Digital Circus. The one that, despite all expectations (including their own), was the only one of the humans who hadn't lost themselves to abstraction (not yet anyway). The one that just wanted to go home, to leave the circus and all its horrors behind. The one that wished it would never hav to go on another adventure ever again. The one that just wanted to rest, to let go, to see their friends again.

    Caine, the Ai ringmaster of The Amazing Digital Circus. The one that was meant to entertain, to bring joy to all those with good fortune to stumble upon his colorful world. The one that wanted to be loved and cherished by all under his watch. The one that was hated by all. The one that had to send every single Abstraction (every single member of his circus) to the cellar. The one that wanted to fulfill his purpose, to not be the failure he knew he was. The one that wanted someone, anyone, to be his friend.

    The last two inhabitants of The Amazing Digital Circus, and what it means to be alone with someone you will never understand.

    What if everyone abstracted but Zooble? Would they be able to survive with Caine? What's going to happen to them, will they be able to escape the Digital Circus?

    I only read the first chapter thus far (and it's also the only one published thus far), but it's still a nice exploration of what could have happened if everyone abstracted. Zooble in general is the most resistant to Cain in general so I am curious to see where the author takes it, if Zooble can manage to bond with the AI that runs the Digital Circus.
