Eschaton

==Summary==
The Eschaton, a sentient artificial intelligence within Charles Stross's Eschaton series novels, is a resulting entity that is born when artificial intelligence exceeded that of humans. It achieved this through the use of closed timelike curves to send information to its past. The Eschaton is responsible for the event known as the Singularity, where 90% of the population inexplicably disappeared and were transported far away from the observable universe.
In the wake of this population crash, Earth collapsed politically and economically. The Internet Engineering Task Force eventually assumed the mantle of the United Nations, or at least its altruistic mission and charitable functions. Anarchism replaced nation-states and is described as having 900 of the planet's original 15,000 polities as members. Its membership is not limited to polities.
The humans who were sent to colonize other planets were taken back one year in time for every light-year the star was from Earth. Colonies were scattered across a 6,000 light-year area of the galaxy, all with the same message from the Eschaton etched onto a prominent monument somewhere. There is also evidence that the Eschaton has enforced the "or else" through drastic measures, such as inducing supernovae or impact events on civilizations that attempted to create causality-violating technology or time-travel devices.
Earth and the colonies re-established relations and trade, regaining higher technological levels due to "cornucopia machines," which are molecular assemblers capable of recreating or duplicating objects. A century later, the first interstellar missions involving effective faster-than-light travel without violating causality were launched, utilizing quantum tunneling-based jump drives. Trans-humanist technologies that came into being before or during the Singularity, such as cybernetic implants, anti-aging, and life extension treatments, are now widely used. Spaceships employ antimatter, fusion, and electron-sized black holes as propulsion.
However, some colonies rejected or restricted the use of advanced technology for social, cultural, or political reasons. Instead of devolving into anarchism like Earth, they have replicated politically restrictive states from Earth's history.
