TITLE: Systemic
AUTHOR: Chris Lodwig
GENRE: Sci-Fi
BOOK BLURB: For generations, a sentient AI has watched over the world and solved all of humanity’s problems. It was an era of objectivity, social equality, and ecological recovery.
It should have been a golden age.
Now, three strangers are on their way through the arid lonely sagelands and underpopulated cities of the Systemic era. Each is on a personal pilgrimage to the tiny, seemingly innocuous town of Prower. There, they will uncover the secrets buried beneath the town and learn the truth about their half-remembered pasts. In the end, they must choose between their sanity or solving humanity’s final and most intractable problem.
Systemic is a refreshingly optimistic version of an AI-fueled dystopian future. It’s like watching an episode of Black Mirror without having to drink yourself to sleep.
