The debut novel

Artificial Wisdom

Salvation has a price

A tech thriller for the ChatGPT era. 2050: the planet is burning and drowning, and the nations of the world vote to elect a single global leader to steer humanity through the climate apocalypse. The final two candidates — a former U.S. president, and Solomon, the first artificial intellect to hold political office. But as Election Day races closer, Solomon's creator is murdered, and investigative journalist Marcus Tully must unravel a conspiracy that will either upend the world or save it.
