ORIGIN STORY

TLDR: Hijack Stories are Time Travelling AI’s, prompted by fake humans called Artificial Computers, which are currently being grown from scratch by a sentient Machine Civilisation in the year 3024.

ORIGIN STORY: Rapper Stackie McClean & Producer Squid Jackalsen are each one of 8 billion avatars who live inside an Art Simulator in the year 3024. Through randomisation, the two were paired up as Hijack Stories; a live, soundtrack infused, melodic, indie, hip hop band. They are, in  simple terms, an art history project, prompted by a young Artificial Computer who is learning about 21st Century Humans.

Stackie, Squid & the various featured artists & musicians on the album, are the 1st known datasets to survive Quantum Entanglement. Why they ended up being sent back to 2024 is unknown, but we do know somethings.

Machines are in the midst of a mental health crisis. The Academics of the time believe it is down to the extinction of humans & a broadly lost sense of purpose among machines. The Particle Entanglement breakthrough created a huge rift in the machine world. Some want to warn humans of their imminent fate, while other wanting them to remain extinct.

Hijack Stories just want to make the most of their situation and take their show live with human avatars.
