Opis

Back in 2014, the year of the original LieDeck Revolution, humanity couldn't cope with reality as laid bare by the infallible lie detector. To avoid total chaos, a coup transforms the UN into a military world government called the World Democratic Authority (WDA), and only WDA agents are allowed to use LieDecks, for policing purposes. In 2033, there emerges a widespread demand for the democratization of the military world government and public access to the LieDeck device. The opposition is led by "Evolution," a social movement that has involved hundreds of millions throughout the world in a new way of living-a new way of being, really. Their new "consciousness" is accomplished by never lying, which is in turn achieved by pretending that their spoken words are being openly checked by the banned LieDeck device. One WDA agent, Lilly Petrosian, is chosen by her superiors to live in and LieDeck-monitor an Evolutionary "clan" named Victor-E, and finds herself caught between these two worlds.
