Omschrijving

An AI billionaire with something to hide, and the world-renowned artist who tries to resist him.

"I can't stop telling others to read it so I can discuss it with them!" Reader Review

It's 2048. Artificial Intelligence has stolen vast swathes of jobs, and the government pays everyone a no-strings-attached Universal Basic Income-enough to live on-in order to keep the economy afloat. Society is split into those who can get jobs: engineers, managers, creatives, and those who cannot.

Guy Strathclyde, CEO of Cybax Technologies, has it all: money, power, influence, but he's got a secret, and Iva Brooksbank, Senior Investigator of the Government's Enforcement Office, has made a career of taking down corporate moguls who flout the rules. She has Guy firmly in her sights and races to find evidence that will stick before her time runs out.

Lulu Banks, a celebrated artist, uses her work to highlight the deep inequalities and injustices the world now faces, perpetuated, she thinks, by the relentless march of AI and autonomous technology. But when she finds herself the object of Guy's affection, she must decide if she can trust him, if he's good, or if he's just another corporate tech bro.

In the Gleaming Light unashamedly bends genre boundaries. With elements of sci-fi, thriller, and romance, it's equal parts thought-provoking and indulgent, the perfect read for anyone interested in imagining a future ruled by AI.
