A century after a global catastrophe, the remnants of humanity live in an augmented utopia where everything from a person's appearance to the very architecture of the cities around them has been re-sculpted. This shared augmented experience, where flesh and bone are overlaid with virtual projections is called, “The Collective”. But in this seemingly perfect society, several murders lead Detective Hal Briggs from anomalies through to conspiracy, with the unpopular consequences likely to rock the society to its core. At the same time, sculptor Carli Dawes faces a crisis of purpose when she begins to discover that the Collective seems to be actively pushing back against some of the freedoms she holds dear.
Augmosis by Steven Tye is a science-fiction thriller, focusing on technological and social issues surrounding augmented reality, deepfake concepts, artificial intelligence and the pursuit of personal truth.
