The Drone Eye

 


  The card we pulled was a free all expenses 
paid trip to the city of silicon and mica chips.
 In a constant state of surveillance as were we all. 

Each subsector holiday the Overdrone
 randomly issued winning cards to thirty million 
lucky individuals. The manner of selection

was truly mechanistic and without 
any prioritizing human influence. 
  When the Machine Singularity coopted 

the government and rerouted food package deliveries
 entire subsectors of the populace became 
better fed after a matter of weeks. 

   Along with that came a whole host 
of unexpected benefits and rewards for a humanity 
that had long ago given up on feeling that it 

deserved them. So the bonus checks and commodities 
were distributed evenly in the name of public charity.
