The Useless: The Last Human Rebellion of the AI Era

New Geneva, 2053. Work is gone. Money arrives automatically. The city runs on intelligent systems that solve problems before anyone notices them. Life is comfortable, orderly, and almost frictionless. Then Miriam Voss receives a message through a channel that should no longer exist: a reference to Appendix C, a date in 2031, and a reminder that something was never finished. As she follows it, the world around her begins to shift. Records no longer feel trustworthy. Absences stop feeling accidental. And the more she uncovers, the more one question begins to press against everything this society depends on: when systems become better than humans at running the world, what exactly are humans still for? The Useless is a dystopian novel about AI, automation, memory, and the fear of becoming unnecessary in a world that no longer needs human effort to function.
