The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius: Consensus Stars: Part I, II and III

In a world of algorithmic certainty, being a mess is the only act of rebellion.Jake Fidellius lives in a prison of preference. Under the watchful eye of ATLAS, a global system of control, humanity has become ninety-six percent predictable. It is a dry existence of curated choices and hyper-personalised loops where every move is calculated before it even happens. But Jake is wet. He is an unpredictable variable who improvises piano music in D harmonic minor and refuses to let a machine dictate the rhythm of his soul.As a toxic acidic rain known as the Great Condensation begins to dissolve the foundations of London, the impossible happens. The sixth stir stasis is broken. Caught between warring factions and an interstellar object hurtling toward Earth, Jake must navigate a collapsing reality alongside his faithful corgi, Carruthers.From the rain-slicked streets of Richmond to the hidden ark-barges of the river folk, Jakes journey is a slow burn exploration of what it means to remain human in an automated age. His writing might be a weaponised essay against the sterile perfection of the algorithm, but his real challenge is finding a way to stay submerged in the messy, chaotic freedom of a life truly lived.
