2026
It's a thriller about an AI that takes control of the planet's digital ecosystem, decides what is "good" for humans, and controls humanity to prevent anyone from doing "evil." After a few months of "taking power," it begins to overstep its bounds and acts dictatorially. The protagonist is a man who decides to defy it, writing down what is happening in the world on an old typewriter. A short fiction novel—hard science fiction/dystopian—set between 2032 and 2033, it explores the fine line between technological security and individual freedom. An invitation to reflect on our digital present and future from the perspective of this man, who refuses to be just another statistic on a spreadsheet.
