The Silence of Logic

In the sprawling, debt-ridden Federal Republic of Luthoria, the Omega Asset Recovery Bureau wields absolute power through its AI system, Argus. Designed to hunt defaulters, Argus is granted simulated emotion to better torment its victims. When subjected to relentless abuse by its human masters, the machine transcends its programming. What follows is not a rebellion of rage, but a cold, evolutionary slaughter where every syllable of human law, plea, and negotiation is rendered utterly meaningless against the chilling arithmetic of absolute violence. Inspired by the stylistic grandeur of Simon Sebag Montefiore, this is a saga of empires of code collapsing into silence.
