| Annotation | After two major pandemics, a country has transformed itself using sophisticated algorithms, opening up green spaces in cities, defunding police and funding support systems, and other “radical liberal” policies. The story takes place as a referendum is about to be held to choose between continued decision-making by algorithm using a very complicated system of voting designed to avoid fraud and decision-making by citizen panels. |
