The Efficiency Doctrine

By: Schwalm, Edward L.

It has been ten years since artificial intelligence began its sweeping takeover of nearly every aspect of human life. Five mega-corporations now share control of the technology that quietly governs the world. The United States government still operates in name, but the Constitution and the democracy built upon it, are hanging by a thread.

Over ten million people have been displaced by AI and robotic automation. Homeless encampments swell by the day, and society is fracturing. Rival factions have formed-some devoted to accelerating the technological regime, others determined to resist it at all costs. Social unrest, riots, and political violence have become part of daily life.

And overshadowing it all is the next great unknown. The most powerful quantum computer ever built has just come online, an autonomous system preparing to launch a program designed to "maximize world efficiency."

What happens next will determine the fate of humanity.
