Inhaltsangabe
**Reader advisory: This story contains depictions and implications of sexual violence (not graphic), physical abuse, emotional abuse, and psychological trauma. I treat these elements as harm, without sensationalism.
A pair of humans was brought along in case the AI failed. The AI was brought along because humans were failed.
To Have a Purpose is a thought experiment exploring what could happen if Trump Administration values controlled America for five-hundred years.
Jenna was designed and raised in a laboratory to fulfill a purpose rather than pursue a life of her choosing: she is to accompany an interstellar mining mission as biological insurance against the unknown. She has nothing, not even a last name, living as a slave in a society that has no word for slavery.
On a green, alien world unlike the broken Earth, Jenna encounters mysteries that the authoritarian society that created her cannot solve. She is accompanied by an artificially intelligent android whose friendship may be genuine, or merely another form of control, as she begins to question assumptions in a society that punishes independence as treasonous.
A story that explores the possibility that a lab-grown human can be more than an assigned role, To Have a Purpose is a dystopian, psychological novel that explores dignity, freedom, duty, and the consequences of living in a civilization that embraces authoritarianism and discards the humanity of all but its leader.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. **Reader advisory: This story contains depictions and implications of sexual violence (not graphic), physical abuse, emotional abuse, and psychological trauma. I treat these elements as harm, without sensationalism. A pair of humans was brought along in case the AI failed. The AI was brought along because humans were failed.To Have a Purpose is a thought experiment exploring what could happen if Trump Administration values controlled America for five-hundred years. What would you do in a society where you are disposable, grown under controlled conditions to have a single purpose? To Have a Purpose introduces a dystopian future where the Vict Family, the victor victims, are the only people in America who have freedom. Follow the story of Jenna, a lab-grown human, the lowest of the low, existing for only one reason: as backup on an intergalactic mining mission in case the AI found an unexpected biological hazard. This is the personal story of a woman denied everything except the purpose guiding her design and creation. As a lab-grown human, she is denied everything, including a last name. Even the aidroid assigned to her is a glorified observer meant to keep her sane, trained and loyal, yet he is her only friend, a friend who could turn on her at a moment's notice if she showed the slightest hint of disloyalty to the Victs. Intentionally raised to be paranoid, Jenna must survive not only the strict surveillance state that America has become, but also the equally broken Captain Fred and the strange anomalies encountered on a lush green alien world that is nothing like the decaying Earth. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9798287393496
