Enough: A Novel of Presence, Power, and the Future of Human Authority


Overview

In a near future where systems decide faster than humans can remain present, efficiency has become indistinguishable from authority-and responsibility has quietly disappeared. Elias Voss is one of the world's most trusted systems architects. Governments, corporations, and institutions rely on his frameworks to make decisions seamless, scalable, and autonomous. But when a public intervention exposes a dangerous truth-that no one is accountable for what the systems decide-Elias is forced to confront the moral vacuum beneath the intelligence he helped design. Mireya, a human-centric narrative strategist, has spent her career working at the margins of power, diagnosing what technology cannot quantify: trust erosion, legitimacy collapse, and the human cost of speed. Where Elias builds systems, Mireya reads their consequences. Together, they make a decision that quietly destabilizes global governance: They refuse to let systems proceed when no human is willing to remain present for the outcome. What follows is not a revolution, but something more unsettling-pause. Across cities and industries, automation slows. Decisions hesitate. Leaders are forced to name who absorbs the cost of progress. An unbranded doctrine spreads without permission, without ownership, carried only by those willing to stay with consequence rather than outsource it. As power attempts to contain and institutionalize the shift, Elias and Mireya deliberately step away-choosing stewardship over control, transfer over legacy, and release over recognition. Parallel to the civic transformation, a restrained and deeply human relationship unfolds between them-one shaped by trust, consent, and maturity rather than possession or performance. Enough is not a story about technology gone wrong. It is a story about technology working exactly as designed-and humanity learning what must be reclaimed when it does. Written for readers who think deeply about leadership, governance, artificial intelligence, and the future of human responsibility, this novel offers no villains, no heroes, and no easy answers-only a world learning, imperfectly, how to remain human when efficiency is no longer the highest value.
