While it strains credulity to imagine that a toddler in Sydney might be of interest to the FBI or, say, the newly renamed Department of War, it is equally hard to fathom why that toddler has exposure to the government agencies of a global superpower simply because they spent a few hours in daycare in their own suburb.

It's a black comedy sci-fi-politico-tech-dystopia. Working title: Moltbook - The Movie.
