Human Touch

"A society doesn't just happen. We chose to make it this way."

In 2025, political wunderkind Elizabeth Marsh is elected to Parliament, landing a cushy spot as a government minister. She has one major priority: reign in the spread of AI automation and corporate consolidation before it can decimate the economy.

Twenty years later, her decisions have reshaped Britain - into a utopia for some and a hell for others. The stigma around AI having vanished, the value of human output has collapsed into nothing, leading to catastrophic unemployment and a rapid shift in social norms. Elizabeth has watched from afar in seclusion: living on family money, writing books about the past, controversy having taken both her career and her marriage.

As she finds herself drawn back to London by a young political movement, others in her generation struggle to adapt to "the new normal" - including her jilted ex-husband. Can she confront her past to secure a new future for everyone?
