In 200 years, humans are moving towards the future of “artificial neural networks”. Through gene implants, dream machines and drugs, human brains are modified as humans turn into “humanoids”, triggering a new wave of moral conflicts and crimes. Adelia Seyfried, an author in the future, investigates these issues and writes six in-depth reports collected in a book titled “Zero Degrees of Separation”. Mysterious incidents, unapproachable minds and incredible crimes – this is a moving epic novel that redefines the genres of novels.
