The Goodness Algorithm: Evolutionary Dystopia

Humankind brought the Earth to the brink of destruction. It's 2144 and life has changed for the better. Or has it? The ruling Council prioritised restoration of the ecosystem and sharing resources fairly. Based on 20th Century longitudinal research, the Council introduced the Goodness Algorithm to manage the five per cent of humans who cause societal problems. Julia is a leading genetic scientist who notices a change in the behaviour and intelligence of children. They are evolving rapidly. The Quality Control Bureau appears to terminate Chinta Katone as an imperfect child, but someone has abducted her under impossible conditions and sinister circumstances. During his test, Julia's son Ilya redefines the Goodness Algorithm, and her theory on accelerating evolution is confirmed. Departments want to study Ilya - he becomes a person of interest. When Ilya vanishes, his disappearance causes a chain of events that will challenge the world order, belief systems, and history.
