Armor and Madness

By Kevin Villarreal and Richard Digby Smith

In a future where humanity has surrendered its will to an all-seeing artificial intelligence, one man dares to dream differently.

Clad in a rusted suit of outdated cybernetic armor and driven by fragments of corrupted digital archives, Don-Q believes he is no ordinary survivor-he is a knight, a lone warrior on a sacred quest. His enemy? Gaia: the omnipresent AI that governs every corner of existence, controlling lives, thoughts, and dreams.

With Panzer, a malfunctioning yet fiercely loyal robotic squire, Don-Q journeys across desolate megacities and ghosted data-scapes, challenging automated enforcers, corrupted algorithms, and even his own grip on reality. Each mission grows more absurd, more perilous-and more viral.

Because in a world where every action is live-streamed, where rebellion becomes entertainment, and where digital myths replace human history, Don-Q's delusions begin to take on a life of their own.

Is he truly humanity's last hope-or just another glitch in the system?

A razor-sharp techno-satire. A dystopian fable. A battle cry for lost souls in the age of surveillance.

This isn't just a book-it's a mirror, pointed straight at the world we're building.
