SYNOPSIS
Inspector Brad Mertens faces a new spree of homicidesthat the police’s intelligent diagnostic software can’t resolve. He will uncover a diabolical conspiracy that reaches the highest ranks in the UN with the help ofdoctorGinés, a prestigious genomic forensic.
The narrative is structured as a thriller and plays out in the year 2120, hovering around June 27 th , the day in which the last mathematically possible melody is registered.
¨The Last Melody¨ suggests a possible evolution of today’s digital society, the market economy’s crises, and the death or survival of art and creativity. All of these controlled by a network of new artificial intelligence systems.
Martha Bukowsky. Zurich, 2072.
First gynoid of the so-called New Era, she is the result of the developments made in parallel by three large corporations during the 2060s: Deutsche Genomics (Germany), GenHomia (Switzerland) and GenoTech (China). The technological race during those years, with an infinite number of proposals and frustrated prototypes, ended up bearing fruit with the mediation of the United Nations, founder of the Capital-Science consortium Galatea Dynamics.
The first M.A.R.T.H. model, with German-Swiss biomechanics and a protoneural brain cultured with Chinese technology, was successfully used as a clinical assistant during the Somalia epidemic of 2072.
Martha’s name was chosen by the unit itself as soon as she became self-conscious on November 1, 2072 at 00:00 GMT at the GenHomia facility in Zurich. The choice of her last name is unknown, as are her current whereabouts, following the attack on Dr. Nancy Kaplan on September 12, 2120 during the inauguration of the SkyKover Global Network.
We received the manuscript Last Melody through a MetaWave tunnel from the Alexander Tower in Berlin. The manuscript Homo universalis is arriving from the Oceanic Tower in Melbourne. As soon as these downloads are completed we will proceed with their publication within the Project SkyKover collection.
