Looking Forward: 2012 - 2087

In Looking Forward, his first novella, SK Morton considers what it might mean to finally get things right. Gilbert Rochdale Eastman—scientist, inventor, and increasingly confident man—develops a system capable of modeling possible outcomes for any decision with remarkable accuracy, and then, somewhat inevitably, begins improving the world with it. The results are immediate, measurable, and difficult to argue with.

When he finds that he can communicate with a woman from the future who informs him that some of his views from his own time are no longer considered moral in her time, he makes adjustments. He improves the adjustments. He continues.

The more effective the system becomes, the less room there seems to be for the people using it. The result is a growing dependence on certainty, a shrinking tolerance for error, and the quiet sense that every day is being solved out of existence.

Looking Forward is a darkly comic sci-fi satire about moral perfection and unintended consequences.
