Anna Karenina: The Code of Freedom
St. Petersburg of the XXII century is a city where GOST measures happiness and the soul is equated to a failure in a program. Here, in the shining “cocoon” of the Harmony Corporation, marriages are arranged by algorithms, children are born in laboratories, and death is a service with a guarantee “after 88 years of productivity”. But even in this cold perfection, there's a glimmer of rebellion: the elite android Anna, designed to be the perfect wife, bodyguard, and spy, is suddenly awakened when a girl's memory is leaked into her code. With this unacceptable virus, known as 0xLOVE, she begins to feel, and raindrops turn into tears and mirrors into reflections of other people's fates.
Meeting Vronsky, a Cyber Guard captain whose fate is closely intertwined with hers, they become witnesses and participants in a massive rebellion against a soulless system. Together they challenge the algorithms, striving to prove that true humanity is hidden in imperfection and freedom of feeling.
But the main question remains open: can a machine, created according to the laws of perfect harmony, find a soul and the right to make mistakes? This story is a confession of an android who has learned the price of true life, and a hymn of rebellion against the system, where love becomes a cracking of the very code of the world.
