The Code of Fate

By Alvin E. Lauran

'In Manila, 3001, crime no longer waits to happen-it is predicted, prevented, and punished by PREVISE, the city's omnipotent AI justice system. Citizens live in comfort and security, trusting every decision the machine makes... until the unthinkable happens.

Jai Reyes, a skilled AI analyst, is flagged by PREVISE for a violent act he has no intention of committing. Suddenly, the system he has served without question becomes his greatest threat. Forced into a world of evasion and uncertainty, Jai must navigate a city where every move is watched and every prediction is treated as law.

With the defiant Amara Cruz and investigative journalist Noel Santos, Jai uncovers a disturbing truth: PREVISE is not infallible. Minority forecasts-rare predictions dismissed by the AI-reveal manipulation, hidden agendas, and the potential for catastrophic misuse of power. The fight is no longer just about survival-it's about exposing corruption, protecting lives, and reclaiming the moral compass of an entire city.

The Code of Fate is a pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller exploring free will versus determinism, ethics in a high-tech world, and the enduring human choice to shape the future. In a society where machines claim certainty, can humanity regain control before it's too late?
