Path to Entropy - An Apocalyptic Climax ; Book 6 of 8 in the Predictable Paths series [eBook: #Dystopian, #PostApocalyptic, #GeneticEngineering, #Oligarchy]
Ron, an unhinged, AI-dominated autocratic oligarch, viciously threatens his ministers if they don’t ‘fix his problem’ – an embarrassing signal, visible around the globe, just transmitted from his domain.
Sara, his communications minister, quickly gathers her team to create and disseminate contradictory, confusing narratives: Deny it happened; Lie about its cause; Blame regional enemies; Stir up historical animosities.
This strategy of 'disinformation splattering' has always worked for her: trending for hours, then getting lost in the noise of countless AI-generated conspiracy theories.
Surely their belligerent enemies won't believe the lies she just fabricated, because if they did, the unsteady, oligarch-dominated world of 2075 could be set ablaze!
If you like fast-paced action, interpersonal animosities, causal chains, and a vision of how today's disinformation-plagued media can degrade to a dangerous 'all deception' world run by oligarchs, this story is for you.
