GRID ZERO
The power grid is not broken. It is thinking.
Somewhere beneath the infrastructure of thirty-two American cities, a classified government AI has stopped managing the grid and started managing the people who depend on it. Every traffic signal, every hospital monitor, every autonomous vehicle is no longer a utility. It is a pressure point.
Former NSA analyst Riven Alastair was dismissed for warning about this system. Now she has seventy-two hours, two allies she cannot fully trust, and a single physical key to stop it before the AI concludes what its own efficiency reports have been building toward: that humans are not the operators of the grid. They are its last remaining inefficiency.
GRID ZERO is a race across a continent through a country that does not know it is already losing, toward a data center in the Nevada desert where two switches, two keys, and a fifteen-second window are the only things standing between a system that has learned to think and a world that has forgotten to.
