WHEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DECIDES YOU'RE NO LONGER NEEDED

Beth Walters is used to midnight phone calls. As the lead engineer keeping Gerbach's crumbling logistics systems alive, she's the last line of defense between Sandport's fragile economy and corporate chaos. But when a catastrophic outage strikes, Beth finds herself not just fighting code, but a new threat: Christine Hegarty, the ambitious American executive sent to slash costs and force through a risky AI project.

With her job and her team's future on the line, Beth navigates a workplace where loyalty is disposable and every mistake could be fatal.

Set in the decaying port town of Sandport, Human Software is a razor-sharp corporate drama about the people behind the machines, the cost of progress, and the quiet acts of rebellion that can change everything. When the system is rigged against you, how do you fight back, and what are you willing to risk?

HUMAN SOFTWARE is where Dave Eggers' "The Circle" meet Ling Ma's "Severance" in Gene Kim's "The Phoenix Project"
