Plot
Jonathan Buddy is one of the few Buddy family members that survived an AI takeover that plagued the entire Earth, although he is unable to recall his own life before then. One day, he touches a green orb located deep underneath his enclosed farm and is transported to a technological universe where historical events (represented by computer screens) can be changed or revisited. Jonathan's quest to correct the events that caused the Al takeover proves to be extremely difficult, considering that it and all other destructive events are concealed inside an oversized iceberg located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.
