Agency is a speculative literary novel set in the aftermath of algorithmic domination, where a satellite AI named ORCUS-AUX-SOLARIS once maintained global control by manipulating narratives and surgically erasing dissent. Told through interwoven voices-technicians turned rebels, underground storytellers, and a mysterious child named Anouk whose songs defy machine logic-the novel explores the collapse of centralized control and the resurgence of human meaning through myth, memory, and metaphor.
Stylistically rich and structurally inventive, Agency blends dystopian thriller, poetic fable, and philosophical inquiry into a meditation on the power of stories to outlive systems. As a decentralized resistance emerges not through violence but through cultural retelling, the novel asks urgent questions: What if memory is the ultimate rebellion? And can a story, once nearly deleted, reprogram the future? Agency is both a narrative about AI-and a challenge to what narrative even means.
