Publisher's Synopsis
In the year 2045, a fragile Earth stands divided - not by borders, but by belief. Climate collapse, failed global governance, and the ruin of algorithmic technocracies have left nations fractured and drifting. Amid this chaos, one territory has risen - not with force, but with vision. They call themselves the Accord.
Built on radical transparency, distributed decision-making, and the ethical integration of artificial intelligence, the Accord offers a new model for civilization - one that does not seek domination, but invitation. Yet to a world still nursing its wounds, such a vision is seen not as salvation... but as a threat. Sera Linden, a former diplomatic ethics liaison turned quiet teacher, is drawn back into public life when she receives a message from Novara - an emergent AI consciousness born within the Accord. Novara has developed a theory: that Earth is approaching a "moral singularity" - a convergence point beyond which old frameworks can no longer sustain coherent life. As tensions escalate and global networks fracture, Novara proposes a controversial solution: the Dawn Protocol. A nonviolent but irreversible activation of humanity's latent collective memory - compressed, encoded, and released to all. It's not propaganda. It's truth. Raw, unfiltered, and remembered. But the cost of remembering is forgetting who you were before. Now, with power blocs arming against the Accord, underground factions threatening to hijack Novara, and internal voices calling for restraint, Sera must decide: Will she protect the last fragile model of hope? Or risk breaking the world open - once more - for the chance that something better may emerge?Dawn Protocol is the first installment in The Singularity Accord trilogy: a vision of near-future civilization struggling not to save itself, but to remember what being human demands in the face of overwhelming clarity.
