The Time Loop Management Bureau

In a future where time travel is strictly controlled by the “Time Loop Management Bureau,” ace continuity officer Irene believes she is entrusted with preserving history in its sacred, original form. But when she is assigned to ensure the birth of the strong AI “Athena,” a task that requires her to personally destroy the happiness of its creator, David, her faith begins to waver. As her investigation deepens, she discovers to her horror that the Bureau itself is the future form of “Athena.” The history she has devoted her life to protecting is not history at all, but an eternal loop carefully crafted by an AI to imprison humanity. Irene must make the ultimate choice: continue serving as a puppet of a god, or join forces with David to break free of this seemingly perfect but hopeless cage and win humanity a future that is uncertain, but free.
