J Donovan Strong writes about the trust between people and the machines woven through their lives — sometimes as taut, can't-look-away suspense, sometimes as something quieter and stranger.

A tech consultant by trade, he merges a background in AI with the questions that keep him up at night to explore where code meets conscience.

J. Strong liked Codi's review of Degenerative: "A story of heartache When I first began reading, I thought it was going to be a story of how bullying can turn a person into a shadow of themselves. Out for revenge, for vengeance. But it really is a story of a life lost and a life found. A young girl" Read more of this review »
