It's the late sixties the first ic's you have been appointed as the secret manager of the moorse law who they promise to spend billions to try and keep you alive till 2050 if necessary, a project where you manage the computer revolution along moorse law deciding the computer investments reading interactive articles and dealing with people on the Comms each month until you feel you have done enough work to move onto the next month or there is nothing really left for you to choose or do.
Your mission to get to a healthy world at a zeta flop or get to 2050 leaving the world in a green enough state that the people don't fall for whatever reason.
The earliest optimal win is 1 zeta flop by 1995 with good green batteries, good vr, good holographic screens, powerful optimal AI and a gold star for quantum analogue and optical upgrades but you can only get a holodeck at the end earliest 2005 and the longest you can take is till 2050 in maybe a bad way.
Be warned of you are not wise with your ethics bad things can happen even good intent doesn't always save you if you lack wisdom.
And yes if you make poor choices wierd AI evolution things can happen that could lead to and end the game if your not careful with your flop resources. Do we really have to care what bit it is it's not really relavent so we just call it all flops and Qflops and Aflops if you develop much quantum or analogue technology.
What chip engineer wouldn't want a crack at this game if it was made well.
