What if Big Tech didn't sell your data, but harvested your inner thoughts then re-licensed them back to you? What if the real coup didn't storm the Capitol, but rewrote your cravings from inside your fridge? When American tech idealist Sam D'Alessandro uncovers a plot to turn human consciousness into a proprietary operating system, he's pulled into a shadow war between Silicon Valley demigods, national intelligence agents, Chinese cyber-saboteurs, and ancient indigenous wisdom. With the rogue help of a quantum time-surfer named Letro Zabzabi, a fearless Lebanese historian named Ward Canaan, and the ghost of Steve Jobs, Sam ignites a mushroom-fueled rebellion to restore what the algorithm forgot. Together they must sabotage a mind-hacking codebase before it replaces memory with metadata, joy with metrics. Human OS 1.0 is the first novel in the Phoenician Wave series - a genre-bending, subversive techno-epic for seekers and skeptics. It blends satire, philosophy, politics, and poetics into a strange brew for readers who like their fiction plugged into the real world, tuned to ancient frequencies, and allergic to corporate dystopias. This is a story about the parts of the present we've stopped noticing. Visit phoenicianwave.com for a more immersive experience with the Wave.
