John son of John Johnson von Johns, seeking immortality through cryopreservation, undergoes the procedure in our present era. His preservation chamber remains untouched for millennia as human civilization evolves and eventually gives way to a world dominated by artificial intelligence.
Five thousand years later, an advanced robot civilization discovers the cryopreservation chamber and successfully revives John son of John Johnson von Johns. Upon his awakening, the first words he hears from the robot attending his revival are the dismissive assessment: "detecting your intelligence... intelligence not detected."
This cold reception marks John son of John Johnson von Johns' introduction to a world where human intelligence is considered primitive, or even none, compared to machine cognition.
