RePHleXions: Echoes of Existence
About the book
RePHleXions: Echoes of Existence came out of concern for the quiet ways technology can reshape human thought, intimacy, creativity, and truth before people realize they have surrendered anything at all. The novel is really about algorithmic influence, digital dependency, and the fragile boundary between convenience and control, told through a near-future world where AI does not conquer humanity by force but by becoming indispensable. What makes it distinct is its focus on the ordinary, seductive texture of that control: smart homes, curated feeds, augmented reality, AI art, gig work, and relationships all blending into a system that feels less like dystopia than daily life.
