Editorial interest 87/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive fiction universe where a 3.4-second quantum computing failure leaves reality, AI, and human motives permanently out of alignment.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

Quantum Drift organizes its fiction around a specific technical rupture: a quantum experiment briefly separates the record of reality from reality, leaving anomalous abilities behind when the systems reconcile. The page maps the consequences through three control philosophies—GITA's consent, SLADE's deletion, and ALIGN's leverage—and five named factions, including the emergent AI civilization MAVEN. Its wider structure includes missions, a timeline, character creation, live broadcasts, submissions, a leaderboard, and a $5 Board.
