    Writers block fix

    proposition for a new book...​
    'the individuality project'

    ...draft title

    the theme is outlined below - care! i switch between narration and speaking directly to the 'prospective author '


    a power believes there is a particular group of people on the planet that are not like the rest,,,the individuals.
    a powerful computer is devoted to scanning every database and every known record,,,to categorise, to the minutiae, actions of 'persons', not people, persons;
    because in its totality,
    the project exists to identify 'individuals' through their 'individuality' as determined by the 'scarcity' of their actions against the proliferation of 'herd actions'. A simple but powerful algorithm, a covert link (if necessary ) to an array of databases, massive infiltration.

    behind the scenes; the money is there, the motivation is there, the task nears its completion,...
    ( why? for what gain, who's gain? ) (the reader does not know)
    but in the foreground the reader is getting dam excited because they travel the story with company of characters themselves excited and getting more so. The characters the reader knows are geeks, the techs, designers, systems guys, development teams...plebs.
    even the highest ranked of the characters the reader (travels with) are all from the 'team', those are the readers company.
    the reader gets sucked in with them in exactly the way they are all sucked in,,,the search for human individuals!

    ######################################
    big note!...the reader and the company they have kept in the narrative are all unprepared for the real reason the project exists.
    big note....a scattering of sub plots are required to have the reader one step ahead of their mates on 'the team'
    i.e.the geek who has some malevolent code in the shit for his reasons
    i.e.the demise of a mission critical member of the team, with a twist...suicide...(the reader is shocked and begins the what if...?
    ##########################
    the reader gets the 'tech hit' with this theme,,,the science has to be do-able, the ozone palatable.
    ###############################
    the results of the project flow in a piecemeal fashion, throughuot the narrative
    BIGGEST NOTE ! this is the real story.....the results are jaw dropping!
    they run like this.........
    the shock of finding scarcity.
    the frustrations as the automated search algorithms build and refine
    the shock of finding the geographical demographic
    the shock of finding just how scarce it really could be (the reader speculates, 1,000,000?...100,000?....1,000!?...100!!??...10!!??? less than 10 individuals on the fucken planet !!
    more false leads and dead ends, some of these people are related !!!

    then the shit hits the fan........the team are taken out.......dead.
    the program still runs.
    it finishes...there is only one individual on the planet...everyone else has been critically and mathematically determined to be 'group think'

    that individual appears to get destroyed....
    why? who was he/she a threat to/how?
    provide no answer !
    because that is not in the realm of this story...the project finishes
    the hardware, the systems and all the sofware remains, as it was...an agent...and now free.


    it is called the internet now, as it was then.

    the end

    (use it and toss me a bone if you make a quid)
    regards,
    kimbo
