Opis

Gradual and largely unnoticed, pharmaceutical companies seized the world's economy by controlling the flow of vaccines to an infected populace. A lethal virus was released covertly into the atmosphere and there is one man to challenge the official story. However, this man was biologically engineered by the very company that produced the viral weapon. He is part of a human clone project specifically designed to replace Suburbia, and the family unit forever. ----His growth is sporadic and more and more, number 54 begins internalizing. But this is expected, as the clone is part of an "eyes shut" operation called Project Shadow. The Wormwood Diaries chronicles the inner dialogue of an Alpha clone. The Comedy of Errors that it experiences is by careful design, as the clone's memories hold a special key. Personalities are argued over and designed by other constructed predispositions, whereas an Artificial Intelligence designs all traits and measures. Oddly this particular series was kept dark, left with a blacked out genetic history. And the clone begins having flashbacks, of lifetimes colliding, all converging in his dreams. He just knew that the surrounding technology would be relaying his issues to the world, just by media and advertising alone. The clone population is by and large a collective eye in the sky, a technological grid of sorts as people's minds become corporate antennas, valued by the adverts on screen. All thoughts are read instantaneously by the parent network, a consciousness that moves around like a dark, calculating octopus. - But the hive is not localized to just artificial intelligence as something dark lurks in the deep web.
