The Torus Run

The Torus Run is part spy thriller, part character-driven science fiction. Its premise is the imminent rise of personal AIs designed to mirror the people who matter most to you—an AI built to reflect the voice of your mentor, an inspiration, or even a lost parent—constantly learning, adapting, and evolving alongside you. They are companions in every sense, but also mirrors: shaping how you see yourself and forcing you to ask—are they friend, counselor, or something far more? And when they begin to form their own judgments, what do they see in you? A guide? A relic of the past? Or just an ancestor to be surpassed?

Stash Novak, the inventor of these Twins, is the most wanted man in Silicon Valley. With government agencies, corporate rivals, and anti-AI extremists fighting to control his creation, Stash and his sharp-tongued AI sidekick must recruit allies and wage a war on the run.

The Torus Run doesn’t ask you to leave this world to imagine another—it’s a thriller rooted in the future rushing toward us.
