Algorithm 323 - Erasmus Cromwell-smith

Nicolas Tosh is a Math Prodigy.

In the late 70s, he develops a series of discreet algorithms that enable seamless communications to and from the brain.

Thoughts replace voices as a communication medium, the brain's memory banks become easily downloadable and every live thought, image and sound can be captured through Tosh's mathematical constructs.

To ensure neutrality and a safe haven for his operations, he builds a data center in Zermatt, Switzerland to host a global neural network and a state of the art Quantum Computer that enables the deployment of his set of algorithms on a global scale.

Realizing that the misuse of his formulas could have serious repercussions, Tosh seeks the G-7 to designate them as WMDs, but inevitably conflicts arise as one nation tries to take advantage of Tosh's formulas, in detriment of the other member nations, in particular of Algorithm-323.
