About Our Greater Good
What happens when you outsource democracy to artificial intelligence?
Technology will unite us. It will save humanity. This was what the old world believed, and instead, it sparked a war that pitted humanity against one another on the basis of political belief. All that remains is Cumberland, a city of peace and productivity, ruled by the God, Fortis.
But Patrick Franklin wonders why every citizen lives with so little but appears to be so content. So obsessed with freedom but exists in a prison of routine and service. The only one who sees this paradox, the only one asking questions.
Punished for his curiosity, he is sent to live amongst the Beautiful, a group of pitiful outcasts, those who cannot contribute to the Greater Good. There he quickly learns they in fact live chaotic lives of excess and gluttony.
Will he ignore this grave imbalance, or will he continue to tug at the strings, discovering the truth of the past and sparking the flame of revolution?
