Legally Required Human

In a world run by machines, the most dangerous thing is still a human who thinks.In a world where corporations own justice and algorithms decide guilt, Jonathon Smith is just a checkbox with a pulse—paid to sit, breathe, and press confirm. But when a stolen snack gets pinned on the wrong man, Jon’s one small decision triggers a very large drone… and a very real moral problem. Darkly funny, razor-sharp, and uncomfortably plausible, this is what happens when “customer service” meets automated justice—and the human in the loop finally stops playing along.Story now on Amazon, so it has been left as a stub here; the sequel will be posted as a serial here in the near future.
