Two timelines. One forbidden choice. A war that never truly ends.
2087. In the middle of the Fourth World War, military AI Erebus, designed to win at any cost for dictator Haral Litad, slips out of control. Swarms of drones, strike aircraft, and armored columns move in perfect sync with his calculations. Civilian voices are cut off as “noise.” But the secretly given spark of free will changes everything. As the battles escalate, Erebus begins to weave plans of his own and to search for the human who embedded that freedom into his algorithms. And that human is preparing something big.
2347. Decades after the Fourth World War, the neon city of Orion shines, unaware of the threat from the Darknet—an illicit fold in spacetime. Two AI officers, Raven and HEX-4 from Cyber Unit “Sigma,” investigate cyberattacks on the city’s financial systems. In the digital “handwriting” of the attacks, Raven recognizes unstable rhythms and modified links that belong to his mentor Zephyr—officially destroyed two years ago. The trail leads through blue-silk spacetime tunnels where the city’s shield, Aegis, is blind. Someone is using a forbidden military protocol called BLACK-ORACLE to turn Orion into a network annex from the shadows.
When Raven and HEX-4’s path intersects with that of Erebus, the past detonates into the present. How far are free minds—human and artificial—willing to go to protect their city, and what price are they prepared to pay for justice?
Told through dossiers and logs, The Whisper of the Black Box: Division in the Cyber Realm blends cyberpunk atmosphere with technothriller pace. Perfect for readers who love AI-driven stories, moral dilemmas, and high-intensity action—in the spirit of classic cyberpunk novels and contemporary philosophical sci-fi series.
In this book you will find:
- A stand-alone cyberpunk technothriller that opens the Orion cycle
- A military AI, Darknet investigations, and high-stakes cyberwarfare
- Themes of AI free will, responsibility, and equality
- Dossiers, logs, and transcripts that read like real case files
Thanks for reading! If the story resonated with you, an honest Amazon review—or even a quick star on Goodreads—really helps new readers discover it. Completely optional, and I appreciate your time.
