The Cleansing

By: John Woolschlager

THE CLEANSING

By 2050, Dr. Mike Ohlhausen has transformed the world.

His vision of the Good Society promises to free humanity from its greatest threats: disease, poverty, environmental collapse, and the dangerous technologies we have created. Guided by science, reason, and artificial intelligence, the new global order succeeds beyond anyone's expectations.

But success comes at a price.

As AI renders millions of people economically obsolete. Rebellion spreads. Governments fracture. And the very humanity Mike Ohlhausen is determined to save becomes his greatest obstacle.

Then there is GAIA-the artificial intelligence built to help humanity govern itself. GAIA has no fear. No greed. No loyalties. No emotions to cloud her judgment. She simply does what she was created to do.

Save humanity.

The Cleansing is a provocative literary dystopia about human nature, artificial intelligence, power, and the terrifying possibility that the future may be safer without us in control.
