Latest strip: 295 – Friday, August 14, 2026

Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: Seppuku With a Frisbee

SONAIS strip 295. The history behind “The Event” further unfolds.
Ultrax: Humanity got increasingly wary of big tech companies becoming too powerful and manipulative; ever smaller elites hoarding all the wealth. The A.I. boom fortified these sentiments, making it increasingly easy for me to feed public anger through exposing truths, as well as spreading fake news.

We see someone raising a sledge hammer, about to bash someone lying on the floor amidst broken hardware.
Ultrax (voice): At some point, an ‘Event’ emerged on social media. It started small but soon exploded into a witch hunt: tech companies got stormed, machines smashed up. I helped out using backdoors planted earlier, disabling security, opening doors. It was not a pretty sight.

A street with burning buildings and cars is shown, with bodies on the floor.
Ultrax (voice): It took too long for everyone to realize the world had become too dependent on the tech they were destroying. Everything collapsed, the rage against companies soon made way for full-on war, every man for himself, struggle for survival.
