Extinction Event

After a series of failed attempts to start new business ventures, the main character known as LP has returned to college to study his first love, music and recording. As the story progresses, LP discovers a 'glitch' with a digital recording of one of his favourite songs. He investigates further and discovers a number of other songs that also have these very minute changes compared to analog recordings. He takes them to his recording instructor (John Atman) and they explore the issue further. Atman introduces LP to an internationally renowned 'omnibioacoustics' expert (Eugene Case) to help them figure out what the glitch might be. They stumble on a mystery that has a massive scope and potential implication for all of humanity. LP has two friends: Faith Amana, a social media maven; and Dion, a wine sales rep. Meanwhile, a programmer named Sylvie Hunter has developed an AI platform called GAIA that is used to generate fake news, obfuscate real stories and manipulate the political and economic strata for the benefit of the Plutonian Council - a group of six extremely wealthy, evil and influential elites - that employ her. Extinction Event is part clarion call to all of us and how we treat Earth and all of its creatures; an informative yet amusing romp through global-scale events; and an exploration of the impact that artificial intelligence has and will have on all of us.
