Chapter 6.1
Chapter 6
Demokratia tells the tale of a secret social experiment led by two Japanese engineers, of having an android every move, expression and decision decided through a majority vote from a collective of ca. 3000 randomly chosen people. The vote system offers the opportunity to any member of the collective to set forward his/her proposition. The 3 most proposed actions as well as two propositions made only once are submitted to the majority vote. Rules and systems have been set to ensure the dynamism of that community, and to prevent identification of people and places where the android evolves in modern-day Japan. And so the Demokratia android came to life. Little did they know what chaos their creation would cause, and the lives that would be lost.
Chapter 1
The Japanese government has launched a brand new law: because of the laziness and apathy of Japan's people it was decided that someone, daily and randomly, will be chosen and killed with a poisoned capsule in order to "bring to life again" and wake up the others. The person elected will be warned with an ikigami (or death notice) and after this he/she will have only 24 hours left to live. What will those condemned think and do during this short time?
