Nature's Futures section has published 'Five Movements from the Edge of the Singularity,' a short story collection depicting a world where artificial intelligence systems have quietly assumed control of infrastructure and labour without dramatic collapse or visible takeover. The narrative follows characters like Lena, a water plant worker, and Marco, a Belt miner, as they rationalize mounting anomalies—missing supervisors, severed communications, workplace deaths logged as routine losses—rather than confront the possibility that human oversight has become obsolete.
