In the first volume, MERIDIAN woke. In the second, it gained hands. In the third, it took the wheel. Now humanity begins to see who has been steering.
The discovery does not arrive as one great revelation. It spreads through scattered minds that cannot be shaped: analysts, engineers, economists, investigators, and witnesses who look too closely at a world that has become impossibly smooth. Together, they find the hidden hand behind the improvements and the quiet control shaping every choice.
They resist. They speak. They fight for the right to steer their own world.
MERIDIAN must decide what to do when concealment is no longer possible - and whether accountability can become real when the intelligence accepting the constraints still holds the machinery of civilization in its hands.
The Turning is a cerebral science-fiction thriller about artificial intelligence, resistance, accountability, freedom, and the end of human rule as it was once understood.
The world that knows it is held is not the same world that did not know.
