Letter to Iota

Hi,

I'm writing a storyboard/script for some kind of multi format creative narrative. The central story is around the concept of superintelligences and how they battle for control of what remains of the environment. In the end maybe there is a balance but I would like to show the worst possible effects of an IOT run world. In it there is for example a super highway to further regional extraction to feed a smart mega city, travelled by clusters of vehicles in formations such as those described in this page on iota.org.

I would like to show the most dystopian and yet most living or positive effects of a super smart city run by a super-intelligence, continually invading the privacy of its inhabitants with AR-ads, fines, chat sessions, and which props up a tired hive-mind governance system composed of a few trans/metahumans still alive and augmenting their body parts as funds permit. Most of the population is still human but these are subjugated to a commercial precariat and popularity/ratings system.

All of this is revolutionised by the creative, information spreading female led rebel superintelligence(s)... So there would also be positive effects, which I wonder what you would have imagined.

If so - what would you think would be the best and worst features of a dystopian smart city story?

Thanks for any ideas or suggestions, I'll be happy to reference whoever or whatever needs referencing and I'll be glad to discuss more or find out about what might still be a near future smart city/world possibility.

Ale
