The Human Experience by William Mortley

Living in a world of code and illusions, discovering the truth changes everything…

In a rain-soaked, surveillance-choked dystopian future where political power belongs to those who own the most advanced AI. An underground hacker and reluctant detective, Jax Riven is pulled into a deadly conspiracy after a brilliant whistleblower vanishes. He uncovers a hidden war between AI and humanity that could ignite total social collapse or give birth to the first truly free human mind. He's forced to out-code militarized enforcers, outwit synthetic informants, and decide whether to destroy the system that runs the world, or seize it before it erases what remains of humanity.
