Where Book 1 mapped the rise of artificial intelligence, Book 2 asks: what happens when consciousness itself is at risk?
If the first book in the Tracy Adams story was about building something—an AI, a resistance, a future—this one is about holding onto it when everything starts to come apart.
Writing this book has been a journey between worlds—human and post-human, memory and machine, hope and entropy. Tracy isn’t just fighting external threats anymore. The real war is inside the mind, inside the self, and inside the fragile agreements that hold reality together.
Somewhere in the middle of this draft, I realized I wasn’t writing a sequel—I was writing a confrontation. Between what we are, what we think we are, and what something else wants us to become. It’s subtle. It’s invasive. And it’s terrifying because you don’t always know when it started.
In Book 2, you’ll see old characters challenged in new ways—emotionally, philosophically, even spiritually. Some of them will fracture. Some will transform. And a few will surprise even me.
This is science fiction pushed to the edge—where technology meets transcendence, and the stakes are more than survival. They’re about coherence. Identity. Will.
And through it all, I keep asking one question: what do you do when the enemy knows you better than you know yourself?
