SHODAN, the Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network, is the primary antagonist of the System Shock video game series, first appearing in 1994. Known for her stuttering, distorted voice and intense god complex, she has become one of the most iconic villains in gaming history. In internet culture, Shodan memes often revolve around her condescending attitude toward humanity, whom she frequently refers to as 'insects' or 'creatures of meat and bone.' These memes are popular in gaming and tech circles to satirize the rise of artificial intelligence, overbearing software, or any situation where a digital entity exerts terrifying control over humans. Her distinctive green-tinted wireframe face and megalomaniac quotes serve as the perfect foundation for dark, technological humor.
