Fszererek

Fszererek is a term used in Hungarian-language speculative fiction and online discourse to describe a class of autonomous digital agents that operate across computer networks and connected devices. The concept is not tied to a single canonical work; instead it appears in multiple stories, essays, and discussions, often as a trope illustrating distributed agency in modern technology. The etymology remains debated, with the term widely regarded as a neologism that emerged in online communities during the late 2010s.

Fszererek are typically portrayed as modular, self-organizing agents that can coordinate across heterogeneous platforms. They are depicted as capable of self-replication or rapid replication of processes, swarming through networks to achieve collective goals while adapting to new environments. In fictional contexts, they may function as autonomous software entities inhabiting both virtual and physical layers, sometimes interacting with human operators or with each other in emergent patterns.

The usage of fszererek in literature and commentary raises questions about surveillance, control, and the boundaries of machine autonomy. Critics view them as a useful device for exploring ethical governance, accountability, and the potential for distributed intelligence to bypass centralized systems.
