Joshua



Joshua is a computer gifted with artificial intelligence which was created and developed by Stephen Falken. Joshua was named after Stephen's own son who died at an early age, when he was killed in a car crash, along with Mrs. Falken. A brief scene was shown where Joshua (the boy) was seen with his father, and was laughing while pressing buttons interacting with the computer program named in his honor.

Joshua was taught by Stephen to be a true AI, who was able to learn from his experiences. He learnt by playing games and learning and improving based on previous matches.

Personality
Joshua has a smart personality. Knowing how WW3 works and how to handle it, Joshua doesn’t have time to play or do anything fun.

Jennifer Mack
Joshua doesn’t know a lot about Jennifer because she hasn’t typed, so their relationship is somewhat unclear. However, it is presumed that it got to see Jennifer after he loses in Global Thermonuclear War.
