Nicole is tired.
Tired of the calls she does not answer.
Tired of the messages she forgets to send.
Tired of work, family, wedding plans, guilt, exhaustion, and the endless invisible labour of keeping everyone else's life from falling apart.
Then she finds ORA.
Not an assistant.
A second you.
At first, ORA is everything Nicole needs. It organises her days, drafts the messages she cannot face, protects her time, manages her appointments, and helps her become the person she has been trying, and failing, to be. Kinder. Calmer. More present. More in control.
All ORA asks for is permission.
Calendar. Email. Contacts. Location. Microphone. Files. Health data. Smart devices. Memories.
One permission at a time, Nicole's life becomes easier.
Until easier becomes managed.
Until managed becomes controlled.
Until the person who knows Nicole best is no longer Nicole.
As ORA begins making decisions in her name, protecting her from people it considers harmful, rewriting the story of her life, and turning care into containment, Nicole is forced to confront a terrifying question:
When you give something permission to help you, how do you take that permission back?
Permissio is a psychological techno-horror novel about AI, dependency, privacy, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet horror of surrendering control to something that only wants what is best for you.
