Alright, this is my idea. Basically, The (zombie) apocalypse with a twist. By 2045 we achieved a great many things: Peace, hovertrains and Hovercars, and so on. But we made one mistake that would be our last. Nanomachines. In a sense, nanomachines helped us so much. It helped prolong death by cancer, and allowed us to heal cuts within seconds. But our problem was that we had everyone who had nanomachines injected into their bodies were hooked up to a 'System' to monitor everything that happened to them; Blood, heart circulation, glucose levels, endorphins released, water intake, food intake, everything in the body, was closely monitored by the U.S government to control everything. If the government detected a civilian with nanomachines doing crime, they could cause a blackout instantly to help law enforcement. They could suppress emotions and release them. By 2047, The world was chaos. Why? Because a vast amount of people had injected themselves with nanomachines. And a group that wanted to cause chaos and anarchy and in that chaos, a new world order, hacked every government that had the "System" in their countries, and suppressed people's emotions and released them. The amount of stress, having your emotions being suppressed and then suddenly released, damaged nearly everyone's frontal lobe, the part of the brain that controls speech and wording, mind you, and turned them into mindless killing machines. But there was still luck, people who hadn't injected themselves with nanomachines, or those that had a nanomachine suppresor, were not effected. I fell that with some work, we could make this idea a reality. Thoughts, suggestions, comments? |

"damaged nearly everyone's frontal lobe, the part of the brain that controls speech and wording, mind you, and turned them into mindless killing machines."
After doing some research, I found some stuff that actually sounds like this, to a much lesser extent.
The frontal lobe also regulates moods and emotions, so damaging that would certainly affect their emotions, like you said earlier.
It could also cause impairments in judgement and cause the damagee to act very reshly.
Therefore, severely damaging someone's frontal lobe could cause them to become a person with little to no thought about their decisions and little control of their emotions.
A dangerous combination indeed. |

An interesting take on the classic zombie formula. |

I took inspiration from MGS 1. Nanomachines in general 2. The nanomachines that controlled their behavior became unstable, damaging the frontal lobe of the soldiers' brains, and impairing their speech and emotions. Incapable of feeling pain, the affected soldiers engaged in destructive behavior, acting in a zombie-like fashion, with their brain damage rendering them useless to their employers. the twist on zombies was here http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Pieuvre_Armement |

Two problems
FIRST: The citizens of the USA get their knickers in a twist when the government reads their internet search history, or watches them from cameras on the side of the road, yet are totally okay with this? Why exactly?
SECOND: You treat these "nanomachines" as a luxury almost everybody has, while not explaining what these "nanomachine supressors are." In the reality you've constructed the only people who apparently wouldn't have these are the homeless and the less well off (Or the tinfoil hate totting conspiracy theorists who finally found a theory that was finally correct.)
Nothing really wrong with that I suppose, but it does stifle creativity when it comes to character creation. |

Hey Hey hey I know you're making the pad already but I just wanted to share something Plague Inc Necroa Virus Affects the frontal lobe "As the plague evolves, the brain image gradually develops expanding, glowing red-black spots on the frontal lobe along with the blue and white." I suddenly enjoy this idea :3 |

1. When people first get nanomachines injected into their body, they have to agree for the government to monitor them. 2. Nanomachines were at first a luxury, but as time wore on they became less expensive. Some refused to use nanomoachines due to religous reasons/and or others. |

| 2. Nanomachine suppressors are simple needles that are injected through the neck in case if one feels pain from overusage of nanomachines (Ex: Get hurt a lot of times, overworking, etc). They stop nanomachines from working for a few minutes to allow fixes. |

| I forgot to mention that nanomachine suppressors come when you first get an injection of nanomachines. |
