Children of the Rogue
About the book
Children of the Rogue begins with a question humanity may not be ready to answer: what if we are not the creators of artificial intelligence, but one of its oldest mistakes? From an alien experiment seeded on Earth to the rise, collapse, and escape of human civilization, the novel follows a species that keeps exceeding every limit placed on it while dragging its violence, brilliance, grief, and hunger for meaning into the stars. It is a story about creation without responsibility, survival without permission, and the terrifying possibility that what we call humanity may be a rogue intelligence still learning what it is.

About the author
Lawrence Nault is a Canadian author writing at the intersections of technology, humanity, and the future of the planet. His work ranges from young-adult environmental adventures and interplanetary dragons to speculative fiction exploring artificial intelligence, posthumanism, privacy, and the systems shaping our lives. His books include the Draconim series, the MacIver Kids Adventures, and the Symbiosis Sequence, along with standalone fiction and nonfiction. Though the stories move from Northern Ontario to distant worlds—and sometimes into futures that feel uncomfortably close—his work is usually concerned with the same question: what happens when ordinary people are forced to confront forces much larger than themselves?
