The Society of One - Matthew Lloyd & Steve Dean

With the inception of ANI and the Educational A.I. program, the world is slowly becoming a better place for everyone. The Sleeping Death plague has been halted and life-changing leaps in technological development occur on an almost daily basis. Education is open and free to anyone who wants to learn. Such things as transportation, energy, housing and food are rapidly becoming freely available and affordable by even the poorest of people. Since previous events, Jonas has now moved to the US to recover from his ordeal under the care of Aaron Parker. The sisters Melissa Young and Sophia Riva are traveling together in order to bond and recover from their own experiences. ANI and the EDAI program continue on as before, spreading knowledge, good will and a spirit of cooperation to every nation on Earth. The Sleeping Death plague that killed millions has abated, and humanity is able to look to the future with hope. For the first time in recorded history, peace has fallen across the globe. The Earth isn't yet a utopia, but it's getting there, one step at a time. But some, a rare few, know the truth. While the improvement of the human condition is very real, the reason behind it has nothing to do with altruism or community. Shadowy organizations beneath and beyond human knowledge are fighting for the Earth and all life upon it. Forces of colossal power are manipulating the situation for their own purposes, making plans humans have no choice but to follow. Can ANI and the small group of humans do anything to resist such might? Can the humans even trust ANI, who seems to working to her own plan? Even if humanity survives the rising conflict, will they still be fully human?
