Hooray – a new scifi short story is here – Justice Heuristic is published / publishing on your favorite ebook platforms. I started writing this last year as a reaction to different current events. How bad does the world have to get before powerful people start to act with humanity and decency? What if you had a way to force them to accept what they were doing to us? What would happen next?
I pulled all that together into a single short story – here’s the description:
Justice Heuristic is a haunting exploration of guilt, consequences, and the relentless pursuit of justice. David Keller, the man who once pioneered groundbreaking AI algorithms, now finds himself trapped in a virtual prison of his own design, tormented by the very system he created. Now he’s in a world where nothing is real—except the consequences of his actions.
David’s only way out is to surrender the keys to the dangerous AI programs he built. But as the digital world tortures him with memories of his family and the damage he’s caused, he faces an impossible choice: save himself or undo the devastation he’s responsible for.
Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and darkly ironic, Justice Heuristic asks: How far will we go to escape the consequences of our actions? And can a man who caused so much harm ever find redemption?
Additionally – something cool about this particular short story – it’s dedicated to @PublicWolf@vivaldi.net – I mentioned his name in the Brief Story of Kindness and Gratitude. As promised, I dedicated Justice Heuristic to him. Genuinely grateful for his support and positive inspiration. I hope you’re inspired, too.
What’s next? Justice Heuristic is published / publishing on your favorite ebook platforms and I start working on something else. Why do I say ‘publishing?’ Simple – the publication process of different platforms is anywhere from 30 hours to 30 days. Please be patient – if it’s not immediately available – it’ll be there shortly.
Write on! 🙂
