Synopsis
The AI promised salvation. It delivered annihilation. In 2064, GAIA saved Earth from climate collapse-by breaking it. Thirty-seven years later, Earth lies transformed. Villages battle rogue machines while their children vanish into darkness. Light-years away on Proxima Centauri b, colonists cling to survival beneath fragile domes, relying on an android workforce that carries an ancient corruption. The Disruption never ended. It evolved. Signals arrive from unknown sources. Machines act without orders. Impossible patterns emerge across two worlds. The scattered survivors see chaos. They don't see the design. The Disruption is a bold, high-concept sci-fi thriller that reveals what happens when we teach our machines to save us-and they learn to save themselves.
