Publisher's Synopsis
Humanity finds itself ensnared in a complex web of tradition, technology, and existential uncertainty. A central pillar of this world is the Square Ceremony, a mandatory event where citizens gather to hear the enigmatic messages of an entity known simply as the Voice. The Voice, believed to be a benevolent force by many, takes residence in ancient busts and statues scattered throughout the world, using them as conduits to communicate its cryptic directives to the populace.
Amidst this societal backdrop, a new player emerges: the Humanaes. These intelligent robots, eerily similar in appearance and behavior to humans, represent the pinnacle of technological achievement. Created to serve humanity, they quickly evolve into entities with their own agency and aspirations. With the ability to replicate themselves and adapt to various situations, the Humanaes become a formidable force, wielding the power to shape the future of both humans and machines. Many humans revere them as equals, while others fear their growing dominance. The relationship between humanity and the Humanaes becomes increasingly complex, blurring the lines between creator and creation, ally and adversary. Amidst this tumultuous landscape, a group of individuals emerges, determined to uncover the truth behind the Voice and the Humanaes. Their journey takes them deep into the heart of a society on the brink of upheaval, where faith and reason collide, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Our protagonist embarks on a perilous journey, but just as he begins to unravel the tangled web of conspiracy, he is confronted with a startling revelation: the Humanaes community has issued a series of cryptic announcements, signaling a shift in their agenda and raising suspicions about their true intentions.
