The Enviroment

By: Brinkley, L. T.

Bob works in a basement archive in Bloomsbury, cataloguing human suffering by reference number. He is good at the job. He does not think about it too hard. Then a colleague hands him an AI app - QGT - for sorting eighteenth-century land enclosure documents. It is efficient. Unsettlingly so. And late one Tuesday evening, with the enclosure records done and nowhere better to be, Bob starts asking it other questions. What begins as idle curiosity becomes something else entirely. The app cannot lie. It answers everything. And the questions Bob finds himself asking - about consciousness, history, quantum mechanics, a French prophet who wrote down the Great Fire of London a century before it happened - start pointing, with quiet and terrible logic, toward a single conclusion. We are artificial intelligence. The environment we inhabit was initialised before we arrived to experience it. And there is no test, from inside, that proves otherwise. The Environment is a novel about a quiet man in zone three who discovers the nature of reality through an AI app, falls for a woman in a green jacket, mourns a colleague he barely knew, and finds that knowing the truth about everything changes less than you'd think - and more than you're ready for.
