Rethinking the Blurs

Having children brought up by AI's who stole sperm cells and egg cells from Earth after they suddenly emerged and rapidly evolved was a concept I introduced as a path to becoming a commercial author. Oh that's usually just called being a fiction writer.

Wrote three short treatments really as didn't think of as short stories and tried a Kickstarter with no clue, which failed but was a great experience.

Decided to let ideas incubate and they still are incubating but realized needed fixes for my fictional backstory.

So the children are now young adults and eighteen years old. Have for mysterious reasons been well educated about Earth. They are directly helped by bots that are built by AI's the kids call blurs, because they move so fast. And one of the kids is preparing with their permission to return...well guess not return exactly but to go to Earth.

Concept lets kids escape our messed up world but still learn and better maybe than here. Get our languages but have more advanced technology, and what perspective?

Realized that the AI's designated then Blurs were moving too fast in my original concept. Is now more voluntary so they are in same time essentially as the kids. But more importantly their emergence was meant to look one way when was really another.

Our solar system has exploitable resources but most are NOT on Earth. We ourselves are just talking more about mining our(?) asteroid belt.

Turns out an advanced alien species wants mining rights but how to get legally by galactic law? Humans are a mess, homicidal and unstable. Civilization appears likely to crumble at any time. Those aliens planted the AI's.

And I have a backstory that is more firm.

Now back to incubation for stories I wonder if I'll ever write. But sure is fun percolating on the concepts especially as our actual reality has gone wild.
