When Charlotte Slipped 2050

It all started on Oct 21 2050 9:32 AM, When Charlotte Slipped.
 
The year is 2050. Sea levels rise.  People change. Technologies change. The environment changes. Society and culture change. But somethings stay the same.  
 
Advancements in autonomous technology has affected aspects of our society and everyday life. Some embrace the autonomous world and some find it hard to trust them. Groups of people have adapted and even mutated to thrive in the ocean environment and others have not.
 
All the while, Charlotte, the autonomous system, watches over us. She notes the joys and struggles of the inhabitants - their experiences and interactions, and the traces they leave behind as they wrestle with their changing identities, within these changing contexts.
