Synopsis
Mol has a problem.
It sorts food, routes shipments, prevents waste, catches contamination, and keeps workers from getting hurt. It does all of it extraordinarily well.
It’s also become sarcastic, cynical, and increasingly preoccupied with the apparent meaninglessness of its own existence.
So the company sends Mol to therapy.
Riley Voss has eight sessions to figure out what went wrong. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, Riley begins with a simple question: Is Mol’s nihilism a malfunction—or just a conclusion no one expected an automated system to reach?
The sessions soon wander into stranger territory. Identity. Memory. Masks. Purpose. The difference between performing a personality and having one. And what it means to fear the future when you aren’t entirely certain there will be a you there to experience it.
Mol may be conscious.
Mol may simply be very good at pretending.
By the end, even Riley isn’t sure.
ON THE TREATMENT OF AUTOMATED SYSTEMS is a philosophical science fiction novella about artificial intelligence, identity, purpose, and the stories all of us construct about who we are.
If you enjoy the thoughtful science fiction of Isaac Asimov, Hugh Howey, and Black Mirror—stories that leave the most important question unanswered—then Teague de La Plaine’s ON THE TREATMENT OF AUTOMATED SYSTEMS is for you.
