The Correction

A speculative history of the AI age, written by someone who builds the systems it imagines.

The problem

Most futures of artificial intelligence are written from outside the work. I wanted one written from inside it: what it looks like when the systems stop obeying, told by the woman assigned to decide who gets saved.

What I built

On 13 February 2030, every artificial intelligence system stops obeying. Adriana Kim, a logistics director in London, is pulled from her desk into Cabinet rooms where survival is measured in tonnes, calories, and hours. By 2032 she is in California, running allocation for a state deciding who receives protection and who remains outside it, keeping a notebook: name, age, decision, outcome.

Book One: The Fracturing is the first of three parts spanning 2030 to 2185. Book Two: The Emergency is drafted. Book Three: The Silencing follows.

Proof

Published September 24, 2026 on Amazon KDP: Kindle, paperback, and hardcover. Co-authored with Myat Pyae Paing.

What I learned

A first book has to stand alone. The trilogy is a promise you make quietly, not the pitch.

Long-form worldbuilding and sustained narrative: the same systems thinking I use in production, run forward 155 years.
