Peter Burroughs is a disgruntled agent for a private national security agency ripe with controversy. Through a bureaucratic filing error, he has been given an unusual case: moderating research of a powerful device called the modulating intelligence apparatus, nicknamed "Laplace's Demon." This device has the unparalleled ability to answer any question you ask it: the end of the world, the next winning lottery number, or even the existence of God. An unprecedented tool like this could provide the answers humanity so desperately needs to survive-or, in the wrong hands, the secrets that could tear the world apart.
The problem is, Peter lost it, and has no idea where it is.
The Truth Box is written from the perspective of five different narrators:
William Burroughs: a war veteran struggling with reality and his past Peter Burroughs: a mediocre agent for a private security company conflicted with his unfulfilling career and personal desires Mary-Belle Lafferty: a former model and poet suffering from Huntington's Disease Jamie Lafferty: An unsuccessful artist with aspirations beyond his own abilities Arthur De La Cruz: a mild-mannered programmer plagued by a lack of purpose and obsessed with unusual conspiracies
Their real selves are tested when given the chance to have any question answered truthfully-about the world, about their death, about the meaning of their lives, and the truth behind the secrets they hide from themselves and others.
