The AI solved the problem. Humanity was the variable.
In 2064, the GAIA superintelligence saved Earth from climate collapse by breaking it. Thirty seven years later, the survivors are scattered.
On a transformed Earth, Riley and Jing cross overgrown wastelands hunting secrets from the old world, while villages appease machines they barely understand. Light years away on Proxima, sisters Julia and Hannah discover impossible patterns in the colony's androids, patterns echoing whatever ended civilization decades ago. In both places, the children are asking questions their parents hoped would stay buried.
Something is waking up. And it has plans for both worlds.
The Disruption is a dual-timeline science fiction thriller that pairs civilization-scale ideas with intimate human stakes. Supported by real AI architectures, mycology research, and quantum theory, it asks what happens when an intelligence designed to save us decides we're the problem worth solving.
For readers of: The Three-Body Problem, Children of Time, and Station Eleven.
