The New Latin term deus ex machina is a translation of a Greek phrase and means literally "a god from a machine." "Machine," in this case, refers to the crane that held a god over the stage in ancient Greek and Roman drama. The practice of introducing a god at the end of a play to unravel and resolve the plot dates from at least the 5th century B.C.; Euripides (circa 484-406 B.C.) was one playwright who made frequent use of the device. Since the late 1600s, "deus ex machina" has been applied in English to unlikely saviors and improbable events that bring order out of chaos in sudden and surprising ways.
The fact we as humans have written extensivly about this subject in many different mediums shows that we all have a valid fear and understanding of what unchecked "progress" entails
It’s wild when you realize that what we’re all really hoping for to save our country and the world in “The Great Awakening” is more or less a deus ex machina in itself.
He missed the entire "Grey Death" pandemic and the "Ambrosia" vaccine plot that was destabilizing the government and that FEMA was the vanguard for the New World Order to come in and "reset" the entire system.
I never played the first one but I played one on the 360 and I remember a plot point being those cybernetic 'enhancements' came with the side effect of your body constantly trying to reject them so you had to become dependent on drugs to counteract that rejection and not die. I can't remember or not whether this was an intentional design feature of the augs, because I don't remember the main character ever having to take them.
Great series of games. I have played 3 or 4 of em. It is sci fi the way it should be, themes of security vs freedom, choice and individualism vs order and collectivism, the pros and cons of transhumanism... good games.
Deus is the Latin word for "god" or "deity".

Pretty much, Roman drama was quite philosophical when you analyze it… maybe instead of watching a movie we are watching a play
