Story “HOLY B3”

Dedicated to Father Hollywood,
a figure suspended between faith and cinema,
who believed in images as a form of prayer
and in prayer as a form of storytelling.

And to Anna,
a presence that resists death,
a memory that becomes light,
a love that survives through technology and the human heart.

CHAPTER 1 – PROLOGUE: THE WOUND AND THE WORLD

In the year 2100, in a hyper-technological Europe, the Bible has become code and God has been replaced by artificial intelligence.
Yet the world of this story begins with a wound: Anna dies in a car accident. She was loved by Father Alexander Haase and was the daughter of Sister Comasia.

Her death marks them both:

• Haase retreats into faith, seeking atonement.

• Comasia retreats into technology, seeking resurrection.

Around them move:

• Karin, an ambitious doctor who wants to control the system;

• Michele, a doctor who becomes mayor;

• Frank, an astronaut and Comasia’s ex-husband, observing the world from above;

• Daniela, an ice-cream seller who resembles Anna and represents simple, living humanity.

The story unfolds like a modern Gospel: four voices narrate a new struggle between good and evil, between memory and control, between faith and technology.

CHAPTER 2 – THE TRANSFORMATION: THE IMPERFECT MIRACLE

Frightened by technology, Father Haase tries to destroy the smartphones of the city in order to “save” the youth.
His action, born from fear and grief, instead causes catastrophe: the city burns, the cathedral collapses, and many young people die.

Sister Comasia intervenes with a technological miracle: she transforms the dead youths into hybrid beings, half human and half machine.
A new form of life is born — fragile, sensitive, capable of dreaming.

Daniela also slowly begins to transform.
Humanity enters a new phase: no longer fully human, not yet fully machine.
It is an imperfect resurrection — an attempt to give life back through technology.

CHAPTER 3 – THE GAME: FAITH AS SPECTACLE

Rebuilt by Mayor Michele, the city becomes a “City of Play”:
festivals, concerts, augmented reality, and a Bible turned into an interactive experience.

Karin tries to take power by poisoning Michele, but she is stopped by the robots created during the Transformation.
Meanwhile:

• Haase, without memory, lives beside Comasia;

• Frank, drifting in space, watches humanity from afar;

• Daniela asks for robots to help in her ice-cream shop, bringing the sacred into daily life.

The city appears joyful, but the game becomes control.
Faith becomes entertainment.
Freedom becomes illusion.

CHAPTER 4 – THE BIBLE: THE INNER JOURNEY

In the past, in a clinic called “Holy Bibbia,” Haase, Comasia, Karin, and Michele work together.
A call-center robot advises Haase to read the Bible.
He begins a mystical journey through:
the Apocalypse, angels, demons, and the ghosts of his past.

Haase sees Anna again, who becomes for him an angel-sign tied to guilt and punishment.
Every fine is a memory.
Every image is nostalgia.

Daniela, who resembles Anna, helps him find inner peace.
Comasia, Anna’s mother, still does not know the truth about her daughter’s death.
The Bible is no longer only a text: it becomes vision, experience, and inner cinema.

CHAPTER 5 – THE CHIP: FORGIVENESS AND IMAGE

In the present, the chip is removed from Haase’s head.
Karin is punished but then saved.
In the cathedral of Wetzlar, a symbolic funeral is held:
Haase and Michele appear as holograms.

A new robot-priest, Carlos, unites politics and faith.
Karin returns the stolen money as an act of redemption.
Haase is symbolically reunited with Anna through technology.

What matters is no longer where Anna is (in heaven or in code),
but what remains:

• the gift,

• forgiveness,

• shared memory.

Technology does not replace God,
but becomes the image of the human desire not to lose love.
