Unfettered Journey
“I want to know the truth. I want to know how and why.”
Joe Denkensmith, Level 42, vidsnap: Year 2161
Set in a richly envisioned future world, Unfettered Journey is the story of a man and a woman who find meaning in their lives. An AI scientist struggles to create robot consciousness. He travels to a small college to progress his quest, but instead finds love, a secret plot to control the world, and the answers to his fundamental questions—the nature of his own consciousness and free will.
