Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete![You All Over Me [BxB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/352668111-256-k582165.jpg)
