The Goodness Algorithm - E-book - ePub

Humankind brought the Earth to the brink of destruction. It's 2144, and life has changed for the better. Or has it?Based on 20th-century longitudinal research, the ruling Council introduced the Goodness Algorithm to remove the five per cent of humans who may cause societal problems by puberty. Julia is the Chief Genetic Scientist of Good Hope. She notices a change in the behaviour and intelligence of children.
They are evolving rapidly. The Quality Control Department appears to have terminated Chinta Katone as an imperfect human. It transpires someone has abducted her under baffling and sinister circumstances. Julia's son Ilya breaks the Goodness Algorithm during his test, and her theory on accelerating evolution is confirmed. Departments want to study Ilya - he becomes a person of interest. On an island paradise, Nirvana, the ruling elite compete for status, play God with expendable lives and hoard enormous wealth.
But Ilya's talent captures the attention of the Council and their survival programming results in unpredictable actions. When Ilya vanishes, his disappearance causes a chain of events that will change the world's belief systems and rewrite history. What would you do 'for a better world'?
