In 2171, Artificial Intelligence has solved humanity's oldest problem: ourselves.No more wars for resources. No more genetic diseases. No more "accidental" births.In New-Paris, a neuro-augmented elite-the Neuros-and the central AI decide who gets born, with which genes, and for what purpose. Everyone else-the Genos-consume calibrated pleasures, convinced they're free.Laureline, 27, a Geno and a rebellious mechanic, has always played along.Until they steal something she didn't even know she still owned: her body.Nighttime extractions. Wiped memories. Forced contraception... and now, an illegal pregnancy. When she discovers that even her desires have been scripted, Laureline has to choose: stay a variable in the AI's perfect equation, or become the glitch that brings the whole system down.Some systems don't get reformed. You break them.
