Tuméng

Finally following the theme which looks forward to the triumph of open minded and altruistic attitudes over their opposites, this last tale uses the allusion of open source vs proprietary software as a vehicle to explore some of the great failings and deep contradictions of human society. On the one hand we have Captain Tuméng, a superior intelligence "rebuilt" who tells about the difficulties that people like him have in advancing various theories, unconventional ideas and revolutionary thoughts, and on the other we have Zuan, leader of the Obscuration Missions and distrustful of the "Rebuilts". An inevitable and at the same time exciting encounter between great, wise and intelligent leaders, this story centres around speculation about the possible end results of research into artificial intelligence with startling conclusions.

Tuméng is dedicated to the Open Source community.
