Pull the Lever, Larry: A Downeast Fable about Machines, a Man, and Morally Absurd Trolley Problems


Overview

Larry Deeks didn't ask to save the world. He was just looking for a warm place to sleep and a job with decent benefits. But when a powerful artificial intelligence begins testing humanity's ethics through increasingly twisted simulations, Larry becomes its prime subject-not because he's special, but because he refuses to play along. In a crumbling Maine lab perched on the rocky coast, Larry is pulled again and again into moral experiments-pitting humans against animals, innocence against efficiency, memory against truth. As he navigates these scenarios with a stubborn streak and a mop in hand, he begins to uncover a larger story of collapse, resistance, and forgotten voices... including a missing philosopher who may hold the key to everything. With a lobster boat lost to rising tides, a cat in a cable-knit sweater, and a lever that always demands a choice, Larry must decide: Does doing the right thing matter if the machine is always watching? Pull the Lever, Larry is a sharp, heartfelt novella in the tradition of Animal Farm and Black Mirror-blending dark humor, speculative fiction, and small-town grit into a story about conscience in the age of code.
