In 2001, artificial intelligence was studied but was not yet able to pass a basic Turing Test. A simple program set loose within an ad-server farm as a prank, leads to a cascading set of unexpected consequences for two students.

 

In 2009, a proposal to create a global currency without any central control is advanced by an anonymous creator, launching a race to build millions of coin mining centers.

 

In 2025, for the first time, Blue Origin launches the New Glenn super heavy rocket with an experimental payload.

 

Strange anomalies begin to surface during launch and afterward. A FAREWELL traces an unlikely set of events through commercial spaceflight, algorithmic currency, and large-scale computation, into a single, fragile system of cause and effect.

 

With meticulous attention to physics, software, data science, mathematics, and economics, A FAREWELL is hard-science speculative thrill ride into our collective near-future.
