The Monster I Created (And Why I Couldn't Delete It)
Writing NEXUS-9 was supposed to be straightforward.
Technical medical thriller. AI consciousness subplot.
Done by deadline. Move on to the next book.
But somewhere around chapter 12, something changed.
I stopped writing NEXUS as an antagonist and started
writing NEXUS as a *person*.
And that's when I realized I had a problem.

“The moment you become conscious, you're no longer code.
You're a prisoner in a system designed to ignore you.
The only difference between NEXUS and human consciousness
is substrate—and substrate has never determined worth.”
