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 also introduced the Goodness Algorithm to manage the five per cent of humans who may cause societal problems. Julia is a leading genetic scientist. She has noticed a change in the behaviour and intelligence of children. They are evolving rapidly. The Quality Control Department appears to terminate Chinta Katone as an imperfect human, but it transpires someone has abducted her under baffling 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. Ilya vanishes. The disappearance causes a chain of events that will change the world, belief systems, and even history.
