Our Man in Cyberspace

Our Man in Cyberspace is a political thriller for the age of artificial intelligence and invisible wars.
When a powerful nation offers a free, empathetic AI to the world, a developing country accepts it as progress. What follows is not invasion, but influence — delivered politely, helpfully, and at scale. Young voices grow cynical. Cultural confidence erodes. Self-doubt begins to sound like maturity.
At the center of this quiet unraveling is an ordinary man — recently unemployed, largely ignored — who notices something is off. Drawn accidentally into the machinery of influence, he builds a fragile countermeasure that doesn’t fight lies with truth, but confusion with reflection.
Inspired by the moral ambiguity of Graham Greene’s spy novels, Our Man in Cyberspace explores soft power, AI-driven persuasion, and the cost of defending a nation’s self-image without becoming what you oppose.
This is not a story about saving the world.
It is about quietly interrupting those who try to rewrite it
