An isolated planet; hope fallen from the stars; a people asking for change; a government excusing its means to listen to it, and a socio-ecological disaster of monstrous proportions.
Nothing ever happens on Jampina, the politically and galactically insignificant planet - words of people lacking foresight of the star-bound hope: An advanced supercomputer, crash-landed on board a ship on a jampinian glacier.
A tragic sci-fi thriller, The Golden Forest follows the events in the context of the inexplicable object and the psychology of those involved, from the government’s perspective and all of its research institutions, as well as through the eyes of the people; along the thread of a power-hungry leadership, ambitions of scientists are tangled into the web, led along divergent paths, as well as visions of businessmen built upon silence, and the desire of one man alone to find solace in a world of grayscale colors written in binary.
Hanging in the balance, the uncertain fate of the planet and a somber conclusion of human nature can be found, and proportions spiral out of control once the computer hailing from the stars shows its own human side, with a decision to make; to heighten the jampinian nation off the charts and the wildest of its leaders’ dreams, or sweep it off the face of the planet like dust off the monitor.
