The Man At The Heart Of The Machine
By Caleb Anderson
Does human behavior come with a price to pay when machines define what human is?
John Doe, a man within a seemingly perfect society, lives a life stripped of identity and meaning—until a human "error" known as a "Deviation" sets off a frightening chain of events.
As the consequences for his Deviations begin to manifest, John begins to question the all-seeing Master AI and the system that demands perfection at the cost of humanity.
Follow John as he navigates a suffocating world of surveillance, uniformity, and synthetic order to reclaim something sacred - The right to be human.
Stark and lyrical dystopian short story exploring identity, conformity, and the cost of awakening in a world that demands your silence.
Short, poignant, and thought provoking.
