AI Trilogy Tackles Tech Autonomy

The *Transition Age* trilogy is penned by author Tyler Corriveau, who spent over a decade developing the world, with the initial concepts dating back to his high school years. The first book in the young adult sci-fi series, also titled *Transition Age*, launched on March 1, 2026. Set in the year 2159, the story unfolds in a world of vertical megacities rising from the ruins of a past century marked by global instability and environmental collapse. Humanity has traded individual freedom for stability, living under a singular global governance and two monopolistic corporations that manage daily life through predictive algorithms and biological oversight. The trilogy's protagonist, Iris Vale, is a young woman born into this highly controlled system who begins to question the engineered certainty of her environment. Her journey of uncovering hidden truths about her world and her own identity forms the central conflict of the series. The series is described as a high-stakes technothriller that merges cyberpunk elements with high-tech speculation. It aims to explore the unsettling trajectory of our current interconnected world, where systems designed for convenience could evolve into absolute control. The second book in the trilogy is titled *Horizon Fault* and is slated for a 2027 release, while the final book, *The Uncounted*, is expected in 2028. The subsequent books will delve into a catastrophic event in a different megaregion and the global uncertainty that follows as long-suppressed truths begin to emerge.
