About this listen
In 2032, interconnect, an advanced artificial intelligence supercomputer, emerges as a beacon of hope for humanity, promising a utopian future guided by flawless algorithms and 24/7 connectivity to citizens. Jared Rohde, a disillusioned academic seeking meaning, witnesses the disturbing rise of algorithmic control over human behavior. Torn between two realities, Jared experiences psychic turmoil as he's drawn into a machine-curated world fostering narratives of hate and division.
Meeting a diverse group of "organic" resisters, Jared learns of interconnect's diabolical methods, orchestrated by a power-hungry President and human surrogates. Together, they strive to disrupt the machine's dark influence and its catastrophic impact on humanity. Discovering a potential space within the curated reality that elevates human consciousness, Jared becomes a crusader despite his own struggles with psychosis and split-reality experiences. In his quest for truth and hope, Jared confronts the daunting challenge of breaking free from interconnect's grip on society.
Precipice: When Algorithms Triumphed offers a compelling and unsettling 20-year journey exploring the consequences of humanity's deepening reliance on artificial intelligence.
