Systemic

Book excerpt: The day artificial intelligence became artificial wisdom marked the beginning of the Systemic Era. It was a time of social equality, ecological recovery, and material comfort. It should have been a golden age, but with no difficulties to define their lives, humanity fell into lethargy, frustration, and depression.Several generations into the Systemic Era, Maik, Eryn, and Lem begin separate journeys to the seemingly innocuous town of Prower. Along the way, the flaws in their idyllic world begin to seep out through the gaps at the seams of their memories. The truth about their pasts and their purpose is finally unearthed in the abandoned mines beneath the town. Now they must make a terrible choice if they hope to solve humanity's last intractable problem.
