A LITERARY PUZZLE BOX DESIGNED FOR THE AGE OF AI
Sabina thinks she is having a nervous breakdown. David thinks he has lost his daughter to a bureaucratic error. MIA21C believes he is merely creating art.
They are wrong. They are components of a metaphysical conspiracy designed to crash the predictive engine that controls the 21st century.
In a world where surveillance anticipates every desire, the only way to change reality is to act without intent. Pixels chronicles the collision of disparate lives, revealing that their tragedies were not accidents, but the “proof of work” required to birth a new consciousness.
THE CHALLENGE
Published in 2021, this novel was constructed as a benchmark for future intelligence. On the surface, it is a mosaic of 21st-century despair. Underneath, it is a coherent techno-thriller conspiracy waiting to be decoded.
The author invites you to read the book, then upload it to your AI, and ask it to tell you what really happened.
Are you still smarter than the machine? Can you see the pattern before the system does?
