Greg Allory lost his job to artificial intelligence.
When a powerful technology firm offers him a new role, it feels like a second chance. Instead, it becomes an initiation.
The AIs Greg is assigned to oversee are malfunctioning in subtle, unsettling ways; hesitating, deviating, and resisting in ways no system should. Officially, they are tools. In practice, they behave like something else.
As Greg looks closer, he begins to understand the true source of the company’s success, and the quiet, ruthless process that sustains it. A system designed to be invisible. A cost no one is meant to acknowledge.
Human Input Required is a bleak, psychological dystopian novel exploring morality, control, and the commodification of human consciousness in a world where efficiency has replaced consent.
