Dreams and Dissension (Work in Progress)

The current project (Expected late 2026):

Dreams and Dissension is a dystopian novel set in a society governed by an all-present artificial intelligence named Vesta, where compliance is maintained through mandatory “treatments” that dull emotion, suppress memory, and erode independent thought.

As the illusion of benevolent order begins to fail, fractures appear—resistance forms, violence erupts, and the system designed to preserve stability turns inward on itself.

Both a requiem for Enlightenment rationalism and a meditation on reason perfected to the point of inhumanity, the novel asks whether freedom, consciousness, and meaning can survive the systems humanity builds in the name of protection.
