Propensity

What if peace could be engineered?

In Propensity, a team of scientists and a military general pioneer a device capable of modulating human behaviour itself-tuning aggression, obedience, libido, faith, and risk tolerance like dials on a console. At first, the results seem miraculous: violence quelled, conflict dissolved, impulses muted. But as the technology scales from laboratories to prisons, to battlefields, to cities, the illusion of control begins to fracture.
