Coles 2190: Different minds at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In the year **2190**, humanity has seemingly achieved a harmonious symbiosis with AI. Technology has eradicated disease, poverty, and war—but at what cost? «Petter», a young man without the neural implants that make the rest of the population «happy», discovers a box of forbidden books in his family attic. Among them, he finds «The Selfish Gene» and «How the mind works»—works that no longer exist in the digital reality. As he reads, he begins to question AI’s true motivations. Through an experimental quantum communication technology, Petter unexpectedly connects with Kristian (2022), a self-destructive ex-military man with a past in drug circles, and Caroline (2024), an autistic IT specialist who communicates better with rabbits than people.
CORE THEMES:- Symbiosis vs. control:Can AI and humans truly be equal partners, or is all cooperation an illusion?- The flow of time:Is time a river, a network, or a shared hallucination?- What makes us human?AI seeks to understand human irrational creativity but fears erasing what makes us unique
