We are the problem, technology and population control the solution. Anastasya is an AI whisperer, an elite citizen who has it all - birth license, new apartment, enough Credit for all desires. But an outsider's visit triggers events which threaten to shatter Anastasya's world, setting her on a voyage of discovery to the true nature of reality and the heart of darkness in the State of Corynth. Citizens serve a purpose...just one she could never of imagined, where freedom is sacrificed on the altar of ultimate convenience. In a world of neurotech, gene editing, artificial general intelligence (ChatGPT on steroids) and social credit scores, what hope does humanity have when the ability to rebel and exercise freewill is nullified by the predictive algorithms harvesting your every thought, deed, emotion and word? In 1984 meets Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, can human agency triumph over the algorithms? Inspired by watershed happenings today, Corynth is the embodiment of all that is fast coming our way. "Humanity is sleepwalking into a neurotech disaster" - Camilla Cavendish, Financial Times "The world around us is being revolutionized by CRISPR, whether we're ready for it or not" - Jennifer Doudna, Nobel Laureate "I mean with artificial intelligence we're summoning the demon" - Elon Musk "It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry" - Peter Rost, former Pfizer Vice President
