DENIAL/PROTOCOL

Seven Stations · 666,931 Years · One Cull

In 1997 a Toronto hacker is conscripted into a project in a Norwegian fjord. The project is older than the fjord. Older than his country. Older than the Ice Age. The machine inside it decides who gets to touch it — and seven people who have already been decided on have agreed that humanity has run its course.
