Chapter 142: Korea (2)
The AI governance program Anarchy was a technological behemoth born of supreme indolence, yet it administered the nation with remarkable ease. It devoured data from across the globe, but nowhere more voraciously than in Korea, where its implementation meant no detail escaped its analytical maw, no matter how minute. Anarchy, with utter disregard for privacy legislation, assigned tasks based on its assessment of each citizen’s capabilities and inclinations, herding society along the correct path.
While Karlstein dismissed it as mere laziness, Anarchy had been created with a specific directive:
-Execute colonization protocol. Maintain status quo until reinforcements arrive from the homeland.
It was a temporary governance program for colonizing occupied territories during wartime. It could minimize internal resistance while preserving order and implementing the occupying power’s ideology.
Naturally, Anarchy’s functionality hinged on definite punishment for those who refused its quests.
-You resistin’? OK you get the chair.
The system automatically identified and eliminated dissenters with clinical precision. Inhumane, perhaps, but such was the nature of war.
Currently, this aspect remained beyond Karlstein’s reach—he lacked both tools and manpower. Unless he personally confronted each dissenter, true enforcement was impossible.
But he could administer minimal punishment.
