The Unfixed
Synopsis:
A young man frozen in 2026 awakens more than a century later expecting a cure for cancer. Instead, he finds a world transformed by artificial intelligence, where humanity has achieved immortality—but may have sacrificed its future. As the last “unfixed” human on Earth, Wendell Benjamin must confront a question no one else can answer: What does it mean to save humanity?
