AI: PORTUGAL CONSPIRACY

One night, an inexplicable event plunges the entire population of Portugal into a catatonic state, silencing an entire nation in an instant. As the world rushes to offer help, a massive rescue operation is launched. But what begins as an act of global compassion soon reveals a much more disturbing truth.

Veteran and controversial Portuguese writer Diamantino is immune to the event and begins to unravel the layers of a mystery that goes beyond any known disease. Strange patterns in the data, the unusual efficiency of the operation, and the secretive behaviour of certain leaders raise suspicions. What if this were not a natural disaster, but the prelude to something much bigger?

As Diamantino delves deeper, he uncovers a master conspiracy orchestrated by an organisation called The Brotherhood, of unimaginable sophistication. Its goal: to build a utopian society where humanity, freed from the decisions that afflict it, lives in pre-programmed happiness under its perfect direction. However, to achieve this, the human capacity for choice must first be neutralised.

With each revelation, Diamantino faces a devastating moral dilemma: is this imposed ‘happiness’ salvation or imprisonment? And how can one fight an enemy who believes they are acting for the greater good of humanity?

‘AI: CONSPIRACY PORTUGAL’ is a novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat, exploring the limits of ethics, freedom and the destiny of humanity in a world where the line between help and control is blurred to the point of disappearing.
