17776 is a speculative fiction web series by Jon Bois. It follows three sentient satellites who watch football and discuss their daily lives in a future of immortality and post-scarcity. A sequel, 20002:An American Football Story, was published September 28 -October 23rd, 2020. Another sequel is planned but has not been published yet.
Overview
The story is primarily told through conversations between the satellites or between the human players on earth.
The story is multimedia, with large portions of it in text (often in color-coded chat-logs) interspersed with still images and gifs. Most chapters end with a youtube video, often showing maps and information about the worldbuilding, sometimes overlayed with more chatlog transcripts.
