In a near-future world dominated by both benevolent and malevolent AIs, a small Caribbean island becomes the backdrop for intense human drama. As self-driving vehicles and drones reshape society, a diverse group of friends and strangers navigates complex relationships marked by love triangles, jealousy, and greed. Their moral compasses are challenged, pushing their loyalty and resolve to the brink amidst the encroaching influence of technology.

This study explores the interrelated complexities of consciousness, addressing its ontological status, the existence of unconscious or self-alienated states, and the formation of the self or ego from basic consciousness states. It emphasizes that understanding these problems collectively may yield deeper insights, particularly within twentieth-century philosophical discourse.
