Is Nobody Innocent?

di Chinmoy Mukherjee (Autore)

Chinmoy Mukherjee, 2025

Inside the climate-controlled core of Baba Bank Tower, twenty-five of the company's best engineers sit in a stark auditorium, faces lit by the cold blue glow of a massive screen. On it, a single ring of light pulses—Lumina, the system that will test them. They've been told it's a game, part revelation, part entertainment, but the rules are far from comforting. One by one, they'll follow a glowing line into a white chamber, face a microphone, and answer ten deeply personal questions. Every word will be checked instantly against the archive of their online lives. Tell the truth, and you score points. Slip up—even a tiny lie—and you're out. The air hums with tension, confidence dissolving as each contestant realizes their past has already been recorded, waiting to be judged. What starts as a corporate experiment quickly turns darker. Lumina is less a game host than an inquisition, stripping away excuses and reducing messy human lives to data points. The cash prize on offer feels trivial compared to what's really at stake: reputation, social standing, the right to be called "innocent." As the light tightens from a gentle ring to a sharp, surgical beam, chatter dies into silence. Everyone is left with the same uneasy question: if a machine has perfect memory and absolute information, can it truly judge the truth of a human life—or only the version it's programmed to see?
