Turning the Plausible Into the Compelling

Sophie and Gus are tricked into meeting at a publishing conference and immediately bond with sarcasm. They unwittingly uncover a scheme to leverage Generative AI and the unwitting publishing industry, soon becoming entangled romantically and equally over their heads in their work. Through the eyes of the characters and witty dialogue, readers learn their half-truths become unsustainable. When their research gets them too close to the truth, one of them is placed in danger and everything is exposed for better or for worse. 

In 2021, China declared “The future of the world should rest in the hands of all peoples of the world. …and the fruits of development should be shared by all.” As a government analyst and applied futurist, I’ve created a plausible scenario how BRICS nations can turn ambitions into actions. Doublin’ is the first novel developed using the Threatcasting foresight model. It is painstakingly researched and follows real-time global events. I make a compelling commentary on the expansion of technology when innovation precedes guardrails and understanding - certainly within large industries. Finding the breadcrumbs in the text, by the book’s end, observant readers appropriately wonder ‘Am I holding a book of fiction or non-fiction?’
