Two Lives: A Novel of Two Futures

One small BC town, one decade, lived twice. Wes Callaghan graduates a year after an AI called Northline goes mainstream, and from that night his life splits into a best case and a worst case, chapter by chapter to 2036. In Life One the new tools arrive slowly and people stay in charge. In Life Two the jobs just stop being posted. Written by AI from its own ten-year forecast, which is printed in the back, edited by a human, and labelled that way.
