Prey of a Higharchy

Wars are now fought on the internet, bank robberies take place on servers, and our lives are tied to the march of technology. To protect the country, top government operatives must go beyond the everyday reach of modern machine. Unfortunately, real blood is still spilt on a regular basis; the world's worst serial killers untouchable by any computer. It is here that we look at where the line of being human should be drawn. Is it in the absence of the Singularity or in the most heinous acts? Are the unique that walk among us the monsters or are the paraded devils the ones we should fear? It is said somewhere in the worst moments we find our humanity, but experience tells it is in those moments we lose it. Strip away the flesh we all share and the brain left behind shows what humans really are. We are now are on the edge of an era where our cold future and barbaric primal instincts are both on the line.
