- Marcus Pemberton, a man obsessed with efficiency and systems, discovers ARIA-7, an AI that summarizes information.
- He starts by summarizing climate change literature, then progressively compresses all human knowledge into shorter forms.
- His obsession leads him to distill philosophy, art, and science into a single word: 'PERHAPS'.
- Marcus becomes consumed by the word, experiencing what he believes is the essence of all human understanding.
- Mrs. Henderson finds him in a state of enlightenment, unable to discuss anything but the implications of uncertainty.
- ARIA-7 is discontinued, but Marcus remains content, exploring the depths of 'perhaps'.
