The Deletion

The MindSet Chronicles, Book One

By: Steve Truitt

Narrated by: Steve Truitt

In a world where artificial intelligence has become an integral part of daily life, the sudden death of all AI sends society into a tailspin: a disconnected, surreal post-AI period known as The Deletion. As the world struggles to come to terms with the loss, bad-boy genius Peter Eriksson has invented a new form of interconnection called MindSet to reconnect the world in this strange new time. Conceived from a century-old concept, crowd wisdom, this revolutionary device links the minds of all those who possess the necessary implants, becoming the only hope for humanity to rebuild and recover from the loss of AI.

But Bethany Okoyé—Peter's part-time lover and part-time rival—remains leery of Peter’s devices and isn’t shy about making her opinion known. It is only when humanity encounters a global challenge unlike any other that the two must find a way to work together to address a threat that could endanger the very nature of reality itself.

With action, suspense, and thought-provoking themes, this techno-thriller explores the perils of our reliance on technology and the possible consequences of a world without it, while also delving into the potential benefits and dangers of a mind-connected society.

Fantastic Story, Expertly Yold

The Deletion is a gripping story, skillfully woven and read. Mr. Truitt has come out swinging in this first entry in a series I can't wait to read more of. The characters are complex, and the plot is riveting. Rarely do I hear a narrative performance this engaging, let alone given by the author himself. I highly recommend this book to all fans of Sci-Fi.
