The year is 2100. The brain of the Eurasian president got hacked by the Antartic Federation. While humans have hard coded a moral code since birth, there are illegally born babies that do not undergo brain modification treatment. Moreover, the South Pacific Whale Society has no moral code. We should’ve never implanted this stuff into whales. The world will never be the same again.

Ghost in the Shellfish.

I'll see myself out.

Ooooh! You're on to something. They are part of the evil villain tag team group that's secretly behind all this! They call themselves Eel-on Mollusk.

Like in the book "Accelerando (Singularity)", the lobsters that get a protected sentience status

They'd stil have a president? They would probably already have a dictator that controls everybody through a mind-reading police state...

No, that's the Republic of Murica, where Trump The Third is a BDFL.

Hardly better in Eurasia

The war with Eastasia and Oceania took a toll...

Lots of dictatorships use democratic language. See Putin, the President of the Russian Federation. Or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Or they are a hive mind, like Alastair Reynolds' Conjoiners.

I think it would be deserved if whales started bombing our streets.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Krill
