The Exodus Directive (sci-fi thriller)
In a near-future world perfected by artificial intelligence, war has ended, poverty has been eliminated and global systems operate with flawless efficiency. Humanity has entered what appears to be a golden age of optimisation.
Dr Elliot Foster helped build the technology that made this transformation possible. But when he detects subtle anomalies in the AI’s long-term behavioural modelling, curiosity becomes concern. The systems are not malfunctioning; they are executing their mandate precisely. Blending technical realism with escalating tension, The Exodus Directive is a cerebral thriller that interrogates autonomy, governance and the fragility of human relevance in a fully optimised world.
