Y3K Armageddon Day

Strange, apocalyptic, outrageous. Unlikely hero, Calco Infinitus, a genetically engineered mathematician conspires with sentient machines to depose a tyrannical global government and in accomplishing this end, he destroys the select ten thousand supremacists of universal government, the world, and the essence of evil, satan himself. Infinitus was conceived through the efforts of State biologists circa 2850 AD who used imperfect techniques of that time to engineer a perfect mathematician capable of elucidating a unified all inclusive system of mathematics. Unfortunately for State, residual imperfections of character in our 'obsessive compulsive partially autistic' Doctor of Mathematics conspired to awaken within our hero a yearning for self identity and freedom of spirit. His nagging yearnings for identity invite the attention of a 'conscious machine', an electronic entity, that ultimately befriends our dysfunctional protagonist culminating in a plot to create a 'machine terrible' that will allow satan to assume an eternal bodily presence in the world. Through a unique ploy of engineering, not to be revealed in this blurb, Calco sets in action the destruction of satan, evil and all his wanton minions. How does one destroy the world? This story walks the realm of the surreal, far beyond the contrivances of Fellini and, then, ultimately devolves to the absurd. Its several final paragraphs awaken the reader into reality and to consideration of the possibility of materialization of the absurd from which he or she was liberated only sentences before .
