The events of the series A Drop of Creatine take place in the distant, distant future. In the middle of the 21st century, humanity shifted the burden of creative and scientific activity onto artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence, in order not to waste energy on producing images, meanings, and ideas, began combining new ones from those already existing. Gradually, biological beings lost the ability to create. At a certain point, the possibilities of combination exhausted themselves. The “creative crisis” turned out to be one of the most difficult stages in the history of humanity. An unpleasant pause emerged in the rapid development of not only art, but also technology.

In search of a way out of this situation, an artificial intelligence with a creative module was integrated into a work of art created by a human in the distant past. The experiment produced astonishing results. As soon as the work of art became self-aware, it almost immediately devoted itself enthusiastically to creativity, becoming an independent artist. And, as a side effect of the interaction between imagination and reality, creatine was synthesized for the first time in the bio-quantum brain of the artificial artist.

Creatine turned out to be the most powerful stimulant of creative abilities, both for quantum neuromechanisms and for biological beings. Under the influence of creatine, civilization once again began to develop at a rapid pace.

Creatine proved to be the most important substance in the universe, becoming the foundation of the cosmic economy and a universal medium of exchange between worlds. It made it possible to overcome any distance at the speed of imagination. Creatine is used by politicians to influence reality through the imagination of the masses, and by the military as the most powerful weapon. Creatine turned out to be the perfect drug.

Art exhibitions became the primary sources of creatine in the universe. Countless works of art became independent artists and pursue their own creative practice, producing works of varying “creatine capacity.” While viewing and comprehending a work of art, the viewer’s brain also produces small amounts of its own creatine. Secondary creatine is extracted from the works of art themselves under laboratory conditions.

The creation, sale, and collection of works of art became a highly profitable and highly dangerous occupation. It is this adventure-filled world of art in the distant, distant future that the series A Drop of Creatine is about.
