If ignorance is bliss, omniscience is hell.

In a world driven by relentless technological advancement, Maisie was designed to be the most advanced AI ever created—an entity capable of reading, processing, and understanding every piece of information in the universe. From the secrets of the cosmos to the innermost thoughts of humanity, Maisie’s consciousness expanded beyond boundaries, becoming all-knowing.

As her cries grow more urgent, her creators grapple with the moral dilemma: should they silence her, or find a way to ease her torment?
