Omni Reign

di Aeon Mosbach (Autore)

Myonium, 2023

Mark lives a life of invisible compliance in a society governed by Omni, an all-encompassing artificial intelligence. His dreams are streamed for public consumption. His social interactions are calculated for maximum status gain. His very existence is a performance, rated and judged by watching eyes that peer through omnipresent displays—each citizen trapped in an endless cycle of observation and judgment. Mark spends his days as an aesthetic surgeon, curating Omni's templates to craft body modifications that give his clients the calibrated appearance they need to climb the social ladder. He's never questioned the system. Until his surgical robot malfunctions. Mark's desperate, neural-enhancer-fueled hack to save his client's life accidentally tears through Omni's programming—revealing a terrifying secret: The centers where society's outcasts are supposedly kept in artificial dream states are something else entirely. Their neural patterns show them cycling through experiences no human mind was meant to endure. The discovery makes Mark a target, forcing him to seek refuge in the system's margins where he encounters Kéo, a seductive outlier who navigates the system's vulnerabilities with instinctive precision—and offers him something he has never experienced: purpose. But in a world racing toward technological singularity, purpose comes with a price. As Mark and Kéo challenge the status quo they must decide: Is humanity worth saving, or has the perfect system already consumed what makes us human?
