Overview

A wry, quietly unsettling tech thriller thriller about AI, community and what it costs to be human at work

Beth Walters has kept Gerbach's crumbling IT systems alive through skill, stubbornness and too many sleepless nights. She knows where the bodies are buried - technically speaking.

Then Christine Hegarty flies in from New York with a mandate, a deadline, and no patience for sentiment. She's done this before. She thinks she knows how it ends.

When a fatal data breach rocks the declining port town of Sandport, Beth's name is on the wrong piece of code. What follows is a fight for her job, her team, and her reputation against a company that has already decided who it's going to sacrifice.

Set in a decaying corner of coastal Kent, Human Software is a novel about corporate rot, institutional failure, and the people the system is designed to grind down. It's a dark read. It earns what hope it has.
