Book One
Systemic
For generations, a benevolent AI has dedicated itself to curing humanity's ills. It is a time of social equality, ecological recovery, and material comfort.
It should be a golden age.
Instead, humanity has fallen into social isolation, lethargy, and depression.
Now Eryn, a moral-ecologist; Lem, a security expert; and Maik, an unemployed drifter, are traveling across the sagelands to the seemingly innocuous town of Prower. The more they learn about their pasts, the more the flaws in their idyllic world begin to show, and they must decide between happiness or solving humanity's most intractable problem.
Systemic is a refreshingly optimistic take on the AI-fueled dystopian future. Its deeply human characters struggle to make sense of their fragmented pasts as they make their way through the photo-realistic landscapes of the Systemic Era.

Whatever magic it conjured, Maik knew that everything was already moving.
