Threads of Control

What if the world’s greatest solution was also its greatest prison?

In a future where The Lattice controls every aspect of human existence, choice has been optimized away, and order reigns supreme. For Kael, life in Veridian has always been predictable—until a mysterious glitch shatters his carefully curated world.

The Fracture, an underground resistance, whispers of truths long buried, of freedom lost in the name of harmony. As Kael stumbles into their orbit, he is faced with a choice that no algorithm can calculate—to remain within the safety of The Lattice, or risk everything for a life of uncertainty and self-determination.

Threads of Control is a gripping sci-fi thriller that explores the cost of progress, the weight of obedience, and the power of the individual. Perfect for fans of 1984, Brave New World, and The Matrix, this novel takes you on a journey into the heart of a system designed to protect—but at what cost?
