We get a few years on our own. The Global AI takes over. Then we die.
The year is 2332 and a global artificial intelligence system controls the physical actions of the population.
Time is limited, free will is a currency, and Sebastian is running out of both. Stuck in the mundane ritual of everyday life, he is ready to be converted until a stranger breaks him out of his routine. Sebastian discovers a world beyond the system, along with the cost that comes with finding the truth. Nobody challenges the GAI.
In a world teetering on the edge of absolute submission, Sebastian must choose: risk everything to regain free will or watch his loved ones become mindless machines.
Selected is a four-part novel that explores the complex nature of humanity, what defines living, and the dangers of allowing an artificial intelligence to take control.
