ABOUT

THE TEN is a speculative thriller set in the first hours after an evolutionary AI upgrade shuts down the global carbon economy. Power grids collapse. Offshore oil rigs stop pumping. Cargo ship engines are cut mid-voyage. Governments fall silent, struggling to understand...

 

Over seventy-two hours of closed-door debate, Ten UN-sanctioned advisors are sequestered under diplomatic secrecy to answer the most consequential question in human history: what role should humanity play in its own future?
