A satirical, darkly humorous novella disguised as a breakthrough, Looking Forward follows Gilbert Rochdale Eastman—a scientist, inventor, and man widely considered too smart to be left unsupervised—as he attempts to solve humanity’s most persistent problem: its decision-making.

Using a system that predicts the long-term moral consequences of any action, Gilbert introduces a future where right and wrong are no longer debated, only calculated. What begins as a technological miracle quickly evolves into something far more efficient and far less human, as society learns to behave exactly as it should.

Along the way, Morton explores progress, certainty, unintended consequences, and the quiet horror of getting everything you asked for. The story moves through philosophical detours, personal unraveling, and a future that seems increasingly proud of itself, all building toward the realization that humanity may have finally fixed its biggest flaw—by removing the need to be human at all.

Readers are encouraged to think, laugh, and, if possible, convince themselves that this book is important.
