We the People

A Premonition

By: Russell Razzaque, T. J. MacGregor

Narrated by: Brad Grochowski

What if AI could show us the future—and what if that future was our extinction?

We the People: A Premonition is a gripping political thriller that explores the terrifying convergence of autocracy and climate collapse. Set in a not-so-distant America ruled by a fascist regime, the novel follows three unlikely heroes brought together by one truth: if they don’t act, the future is lost.

Luna Ochoa, a former FBI analyst turned underground investigator works for Leo Montoya, a reclusive millionaire funding a network tracking the government's abuses. When the advance AI they created suddenly starts making predictions of humanity’s collapse—nuclear war, ecological annihilation, and widespread oppression—the danger becomes existential.

Enter Jake Kessler, a Pulitzer-winning journalist silenced for exposing political corruption. After crossing paths with Luna, he becomes entangled in a movement bigger than any of them imagined. Together they enter a race against time—not just to survive, but to reclaim the future.

The novel asks the question at the heart of today’s global crisis: Can we still choose a different path? Drawing on the ancient Athenian model and powered by modern technology, their vision is to build a new system where people participate in governance directly—every voice heard, every idea tested. It’s dangerous. Revolutionary. And it may be our last chance to avoid extinction.

With cinematic pacing, unforgettable characters, and razor-sharp political insight, We the People is not just a warning—it’s a call to action. It reminds us that democracy is not a guarantee. It’s a choice. And the most important character in this story is us

Solid, scary and relevant

Really enjoyed this “fiction” dystopian story that is the real life timeline we are living which is super scary. I enjoyed the little hope that one day we can be in charge of our own government and not ruled by autocrats

Timely and scary

The book is worst case for the reality we live in here in the USA. It also offers a gleam of hope . Sign me up.

fact or fiction only time will tell

I follow the author on YouTube and his insightful videos which blend psychology, politics and sociology, to make sense of our troubled bizarro world. compared to some of the finest authors that I've read and listened to, this story falls short. however, it is vivid and plays out in the mind's eye and I believe the message is very important. writing fiction is not easy and the story is a fun and interesting way to play out the events of our time to a potential conclusion but also to discuss ideas about how to solve the problems the United States faces as our fragile democracy is warped into a fascist authoritarian state.
