Interlock: A Novel of Motion Without Mercy
The ocean came for them in the night. Not as a wave, but as a slow, inexorable rise.
As climate catastrophe accelerates, the world breaks. Cities drown. Heat kills. Millions need evacuation, but there's nowhere to go. In desperation, the Continuity Project launches the a global rail system dropped from orbit, designed to move humanity to safety before the planet becomes uninhabitable.
But the Interlock comes with a price. The system calculates who deserves to live.
What do we trade when we choose systems over people? Can motion without mercy still be called life?
Told through multiple perspectives across decades, from the first drops to the final silence, Interlock is a haunting meditation on the cost of survival. As the AI system that orchestrates everything begins to dream, as the rails begin to hum with the voices of the lost, the question in a world where the system chooses, what remains of us?
A dystopian novel that asks urgent questions about technology, climate, and the price of continuity in a breaking world.
