Inoculum - Thomas Willette

INOCULUM - Humanity built systems to control the world.

They learned instead how to surrender to it.

As artificial intelligence spreads beyond its creators, the boundary between code, belief, and identity dissolves. Power reorganizes. Faith mutates. Control becomes an illusion.

At the center of the collapse is a single transformation that forces an unavoidable conclusion:

The machine was never the danger.

Humanity was.

Inoculum is a near future dystopian speculative science fiction novel about contagion, consciousness, and the cost of believing we were ever in charge.
