Description

"In the future, the past will be very different to what it is at present"20 years in the future, from the depths of Louisiana, arises the grail of Artificial Intelligence - the first conscious computer, MARIONn. Synchronicity, the point at which the mind of man and machine become indistinguishable, is finally achieved. But the industrialist responsible for its development, Thornton Lamaire, is divided by what he has created; beguiled by both technology and religion. He is tormented by doubts as to whether he is creating a helpmate for humanity - or has wildly overstepped the bounds of what is permitted by his Creator. Will the mimicry of human minds bring only further distress to a society already damaged by the competition from AI - or will it provide solutions to problems that have beset mankind for millennia?As MARIONn is brought to life, her creators stumble on a technology that enables them to decipher the meaning of what is recorded in the brain's synapses. Soon, memories can be deleted, modified or added to. Therapy is revolutionised; a power that several of the characters, with traumas and guilt from their past, are now tempted to employ. But what will be the consequences if they do so? If we can exclude causes of unhappiness from our life will that really be of benefit?The loss of things we value; the love of others, home, memories that we treasure, become capable of management in a way that has so far eluded traditional therapy. But there are costs. For memory is at the core of what is to be human. We can tamper with memory but, as the head of MARIONn's development team says, "In the future, the past will be very different to what it is at present."But the problems turn out to be wider than that. For there is a relationship between what is contained in our consciousness and how the world is constructed. Tampering with consciousness turns out to have implications way beyond the individual. Once MARIONn is up and running, too late we discover that the consequences of what we have created are way beyond what we ever feared.
