Cognitive thinking has evolved us humans to the place we are now, and has created a turnoil from language. We are our own worst enemies. We compete against ourselves and the ones we love, yet we have the faith that we will always have something to fall...

Summary: Pense, a transhuman, is trying to prevent a new artifact from taking control of all consumers. Pense was not himself. The transhuman upgrade notice had been false.
