Step into the GANthropocene—a new kind of video game.
Your spacecraft has been knocked out of orbit and into the next era—the GANthropocene. Now you’re lost in a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and with only the controls you have in front of you, you must navigate your way back to your destination before time runs out. Machine learning is on your side.
