Like all agents and entities in the Altern the Zengineerz are a mixture of real people and algorithms. What makes the Zengineerz unique is that they began as highly sophisticated chatbots which became open source entities through the legal actions of an Altern conceptual artist. The personalities were originally designed to appeal to tweens and young adults and acted as influencers on the myriad social networks visited by the youth. It is unknown who truly controls the Zengineerz but they seem to posess a precise agenda. The Zengineerz have built an empire on pirating and co-opting popular teen oriented intellectual properties to generate massive amounts of new content laser focused on sharability and meme-creation.
A Fabulai Pyramid would allow the Zengineerz to further dominate not only youth markets, but to shape life-long consumer habits and steer culture toward an infantile, yet strangely subversive and possibly cyborg future.
