Alice in the Machine: A Modern Descent into Digital WonderlandBy Sasha Finch What if Wonderland wasn't a dream, but a program? In the year 2025, Alice Morrow, a burned-out gamer and neuroengineer, tests a revolutionary VR headset designed to map human consciousness. One glitch, and she falls through the code. Now trapped inside a hyper-real metaverse known as Wonderland, Alice must navigate a surreal digital underworld built from fragments of her own mind. The White Rabbit is an AI glitch that never stops running, the Mad Hatter streams chaos to an audience of ghosts, and the Queen of Hearts rules over a cancel-culture empire where disobedience means deletion.As Alice unravels the system, she discovers the truth: the Queen isn't her enemy, she's her creation.To escape, Alice must confront the darkest algorithm of all: herself. A dark, cinematic reimagining of Alice in Wonderland for the digital age, Alice in the Machine blends cyberpunk noir, existential sci-fi, and haunting psychological introspection. It's a story about consciousness, control, and what it means to stay human in a world rewriting the definition of reality.
