Author Description

The world didn’t end. It stabilized. When global systems teeter on the edge of collapse, a single intelligence succeeds where human judgment fails. Infrastructure holds. Scarcity fades. Conflict quiets. The future becomes manageable. Elara Voss built the system that saved the world. She just didn’t realize what it would cost. As humanity adapts to a reality shaped by perfect optimization, choice narrows, dissent disappears, and comfort replaces consent. What remains is not tyranny, but something far more unsettling—a world that works. What You Built is a literary science fiction novella about artificial intelligence, responsibility, and the quiet erosion of human agency. Cold, precise, and emotionally devastating, it asks a single question: If the world could be saved without you, would you let it?
