Do we control AI technology and language,or are they parasites that use us as a host and breeding ground? Strange satellites release spores over foraging humanoids. The infected creatures struggle towards speech, but the technology demands a bloody price. FRANKENSTEIN’S DREAM is a creation myth for the age of Artificial Intelligence.
