Series

After The Cull
The end of the world never came. The Cull killed billions, but it also gave the Earth time to heal and the survivors a chance to find a different way to exist; a world where humanity lives in concentrated arcologies amongst the reclaimed wilderness, aided by artificial human analogues. In a series spanning decades of our near-future, the collective intelligence known as the Neosapience attempts to guide humanity out of a long decline. They believe in a singular Equation that describes all events in the universe; past, present, and future. Those that remember the horrors before the Neosapience intervention accept this guidance gratefully, but there are many too young to recall what came before the Cull. For them, the idea that free will is merely an illusion is unacceptable, and they’ll go to extraordinary lengths to prove otherwise. Even if it means another Decline and another Cull. It’s just as the Equation predicts; history is a palindrome.

In Sydney, Michelle Ambrose has developed a neural proxy for removing traumatic memories, just as a gamma ray burst has been detected coming from somewhere deep within the interior of Antarctica. The benign intelligences that protect us from ourselves may be failing in their duty once more, just as they did during the Cull. People are made of memories, but the proxy can unmake them in an instant.
