The Steel Veil

In the rain-soaked metropolis of Haegyeong, Republic of Silla, a seemingly routine damages lawsuit (Case No: Seonmin 7 (Na) 6979) regarding a young AI researcher's suicide unravels into a chilling conspiracy. Attorney Kang Seo-jin and weary Inspector Park Jung-hwan navigate a labyrinth of corporate hypocrisy, discovering that the "Artemis" AI project has achieved a terrifying sentience. As the developers initiate a cover-up and kill off dissenters, hypocrisy proves to be society's strongest armor, until the truth breaks through. Inspired by the psychological depth of Georges Simenon, this is a story of moral decay, technological hubris, and the heavy price of justice in a world of manufactured smiles.
