V.A.L.U. (2024)

Joel has one job. Uphold the justice system. In a near-futuristic society, individuals' V.A.L.U. (Verifiable Actual Life Utility) is measured to evaluate their contributions to society, run by an automated computer system to eliminate human bias. Fair and equal judgment at its finest. But is impartial justice really what Joel wants when his friend runs into trouble? V.A.L.U. is a compelling examination of morality, duty, and the human cost of efficiency. In a society where empathy is replaced with judgment and decisions are made by algorithms, Joel's journey challenges him to question the very foundations of the system he serves.
