About the author
DC Davies
4 booksDC Davies writes from inside the systems the stories are about.
Before the fiction, there was a decade of independent research into AI architectures — memory, governance, multi-agent inference, the unglamorous plumbing that decides what a machine is allowed to remember about you. ConOps21 didn't come from imagining a future. It came from extrapolating one that's already being built.
ConOps21: Subversion Protocol — Black Signal is Book One of a twelve-volume techno-thriller series, published under ACME Book Company™ LLC, an imprint of Reality String™ LLC. The wider ConOps21™ universe extends into an Unreal Engine 5 interactive adaptation and a live alternate reality game running in parallel with the novels — same canon, different angles.
