Scandal has ended Steinn's political career, so he is given a job at a new Information Office leading work on an official 'fact base', an AI meant to combat disinformation. Nobody wants Orwell, he is told. Then a student asks the machine how Nazism influenced Iceland's government, and the project turns dangerous, in a satire of silence and unfinished reckonings.
