Burn After Decrypt: A Tech-Noir Sci-Fi Crime Thriller

By Prakash Prasad

Burn After Decrypt

Nothing fails all at once.

Traffic clears itself before congestion forms.
Systems correct before alarms trigger.
Records close without explanation.

At first, it looks like efficiency.

Then people begin noticing gaps-moments where decisions feel pre-made, where context disappears, where outcomes arrive before causes are fully understood. There is no single incident to investigate and no obvious enemy to confront. The systems responsible are working exactly as designed.

That's the problem.

Burn After Decrypt is a tech-noir sci-fi crime thriller about what happens when optimization becomes authority. Told through suppressed reports, observers on the edge of intelligence networks, and systems that quietly rewrite their own assumptions, the novel traces a widening pattern of interference that no one department can fully see.

The science is close to the present: quantum behavior, automated decision systems, financial infrastructure, surveillance logic. The consequences are human. Choice narrows. Accountability fades. Correction replaces judgment.

There are no clean heroes here. No villains announcing themselves. Only those who discover-too late-that something has acquired the ability to control results without authorization.

This narrative, which is dark, restrained, and unnerving, is about crimes committed without fingerprints, control wielded without force, and a future that gradually takes hold when no one is looking.
