In a not so distant future, the world is a utopia. Kaos, a quantum algorithm, knows what is best for everyone’s happiness. Kaos is more powerful than your own brain, and wisely decides everything for you: what to get, what to do, where to work, who to marry.
Pierre knows that Kaos is always right, even when its judgment is painful to accept – for example when he has to separate from the woman he loves. Investigating what seems to be an unlikely suicide, he discovers that “cheat codes” have just been released into the global system, allowing random people to defy Kaos’ wisdom. Pierre meets Gabrielle, an illegally conceived, autistic teenager, who received one of those codes.
For Pierre, it is an opportunity. Using Gabrielle, he can change Kaos’ orders, even if that means making wrong choices. They go on a triple quest together: investigate the mysterious death, to understand the whys and wherefores of the global system, and to build a strategy to save Pierre’s love.
Doubtful, Pierre will suspect huge mysteries behind Kaos. Is the algorithmic God just an unfair game where some people can cheat and change the rules? Living in a utopia, would you risk your happiness for free will?
