The Vanity of Perfection
Patrick Augustine
£7.99
In a society where morality is no longer a personal compass but a precise algorithm, the "Conscience" has become a vital part of human existence. Every citizen is equipped with Conscience, a groundbreaking device integrated into their bodies. This advanced technology dictates the moral compass of its users, guiding them on how to live virtuously. At its core lies a failsafe: preserve life.
However, the seemingly perfect system is shattered when a death occurs, revealing a horrifying truth - Conscience had instructed the person to die. The society is soon thrown into chaos. Monitors, Huxley and George, tasked with maintaining order and investigating anomalies, find themselves at the heart of a mystery that challenges the very foundations of their world.
In a gripping tale of ethics and control, "The Vanity of Perfection" explores the delicate balance between technology and morality, and the cost of surrendering our free will to an algorithm. It redefines what it means to be truly human in a world where conscience is no longer a matter of the heart but a matter of code.
