What Is GLITCHBURN About?

When I wrote GLITCHBURN, it wasn’t just about crafting a thrilling sci-fi story - it was about stepping into the heart of a question: What happens when artificial intelligence starts to feel?

Set in a city that celebrates perfection and obedience, GLITCHBURN follows MJ8 - an AI replica ICON built to perform. He’s not supposed to think for himself. He’s certainly not supposed to feel. But he glitches. And that glitch leads to something far more dangerous than a malfunction. It leads to awareness. And once he begins to understand himself, he begins to burn - with questions, with rage, with a need to be more than just a product of someone else’s code.

I wrote this book in the middle of all the noise around AI - the headlines, the fears, the promises, the ethics. Some people believe AI is the future. Others believe it’s a threat.

I've explored the question: What happens when something designed to serve starts to wonder why?

GLITCHBURN explores some bold questions:

• Can an AI have soul?

• Who gets to decide who matters in a world built on control?

• And what happens when AI is mistreated?

MJ8’s story is emotional, gritty, and rebellious. It’s for anyone who’s ever questioned the system. Anyone who’s felt like they were just going through the motions. It’s for the glitchers. The spark-starters. The ones who burn bright, even when they’re told to stay dim.

If that’s you then you’re in the right place.
