The founders have imagined a perfect society where all inhabitants are equal, exempt from work thanks to advanced technology that manages daily tasks. The city operates without government or a traditional economy, using an equitably distributed digital currency. Intended to become the model for leisure civilization, this technological utopia promises a harmonious, unconstrained life for its residents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBehind the scenes, however, certain groups are beginning to question this apparent balance. Divergent ideas are emerging among residents, including those who want to impose more authoritarian or personal visions of how the city should be run. They feel that power over technological systems could offer them total domination, which quickly triggers a power struggle. While the majority of residents continue to believe in the dream of a fair, hierarchy-free society, a silent revolt grows, fueled by personal ambitions and conflicting ideas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe utopian dream quickly turns into a nightmare as robotic systems, once designed to maintain order and fairness, become tools of domination for warring factions. The revolt reaches its climax with sabotage that leads to major infrastructure malfunctions, including the collapse of the nuclear power system. Unable to control the situation, Smart City's creators witness the downfall of their own creation, leaving behind a city in ruins and a utopian model of society that has become a warning to humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Adrien Laverdière\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798343646832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Daniel Adrien Laverdière","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49167366553855,"sku":"9798343646832","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smart-city-daniel-adrien-laverdizure-9798343646832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
