Tired of the free will world controlled by the Castillion, the wives have their own idea for a utopia… an A.I. driven system of societal control called the “Best Life Economy” (BLE).  With artificial intelligence far surpassing humans in speed and accuracy for situational and data analysis, humans could essentially rely on wearable A.I. to initially enhance and eventually supplant the awkward choices and chaotic decisions that people make on a daily basis.  Anyone can overrule the decision their A.I. device suggests, but their “Best Life Score” (BLS) suffers as a consequence.  A lower BLS means trouble buying, selling, interacting… existing.  Who would have the audacity to go against the A.I. suggested “optimal choices” that are clearly better than any individual can think of?  The BLE is essentially a very benevolent version of the Mark of the Beast.
