Chris Lodwig

A reality-bending, pre-apocalyptic, AI-fueled dystopia.

For generations, a sentient AI has ruled the world, solved all of humanity’s problems, and ushered in an era of objectivity, social equality, and ecological recovery.

It should have been a golden age.

When three strangers travel through the lonely sagelands and underpopulated cities of the Systemic era to the small innocuous town of Prower, they discover a secret that will change the course of history and bring about a new world.

What readers are saying about Systemic:

Systemic is a refreshingly optimistic version of an AI-fueled dystopian future. It’s like watching an episode of Black Mirror without having to drink yourself to sleep. - Love Like Salt

Systemic is a new kind of AI story, one that shows both the promise and perils of sentient AI. It manages to be both dystopian and utopian, big picture, and very human. It asks important questions about what we as humans want - and invites you to answer them for yourself. - Ramez Naam, Author of the Nexus Series
