Nart Wielaard - The Painless Prison

FICTION

Jump to: Book details | About the author
The year is 2047 and Alex is doubting the perfect society in which the computer program Flow literally controls everything and where a daily dose of the groundbreaking medicine Dubno guarantees you that your existence will be a happy one. No one around him asks any questions about this immaculate society and Alex isn't accepting this any longer.

The young student starts a quest for reality. He finds supporters that also go against the flow, like professor Valerie and the beautiful Eloise. Step by step he unravels how digital technology has people completely in control and in the resistance group there are plans for a revolution to bring back the humanity. By force, if necessary, or is there another way?

The Painless Prison is the confronting fiction debut by Nart Wielaard. He asks several necessary questions about how artificial intelligence gains a grip on our world and how humans are increasingly taking on the traits of a machine as a result.

Nart wrote six non-fiction books, like We Are Big Data (2014), Trusting a Smart Society (2017) and The CFO in Pole Position (2020). The Painless Prison is his literary debut.

To be published in November 2024 | Paperback | 200 pages | ca. 45,000 words
