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.
