The year is 2159. After more than a century marked by catastrophe, war, and environmental collapse, the world has reshaped itself in the name of survival. At the end of the 21st century, humanity unites around a promise of progress.
By 2093, nations dissolved into a single world government. Cities began rebuilding upward and outward. Vast vertical megaregions rose from the ruins of the old world, driving mass relocation into densely layered urban structures engineered for efficiency, stability, and control.
Life is governed by global systems and powerful corporate institutions that regulate both smart cities and their citizens, using data, modeling, and prediction to manage instability before it emerges. Data infrastructure, healthcare, resources, and information flow through interconnected networks designed to optimize society. The past still exists, but it lies buried beneath steel, concrete, and policy. History is not erased, only obscured.
The Transition Age Trilogy explores this world through the lives of those navigating its systems, questioning its promises, and uncovering what was lost in the pursuit of order.
Born into a world that believes history has been solved, the first generation of the Transition Age grows up inside cities governed by artificial systems designed to optimize human life. Stability is assumed, choice feels unnecessary, and the past is treated as something distant and irrelevant.
When Iris Vale escapes from beneath the city of Chicago, she begins to uncover unsettling gaps in her memories and identity. As she navigates a world built to prevent disruption, fragments of a hidden truth surface, challenging everything she was taught to believe.

Years before the events of Transition Age, a single city exposes the cracks beneath a carefully engineered future. In the aftermath of a catastrophic failure known as the Great Horizon Fault, the megaregion once called Seattle becomes a test case the world would rather forget.
Told through tightly interwoven perspectives over a compressed span of time, Horizon Fault follows Eve Mercer and her son as systems meant to ensure safety begin to turn inward. As official narratives reshape what happened, the consequences of the disaster quietly ripple outward, altering the balance of power in ways no model predicted.

As long-suppressed truths begin to surface, the systems that once governed the world with absolute confidence start to lose their grip. What follows is not immediate collapse, but uncertainty on a global scale.
In the final chapter of the trilogy, Iris Vale confronts a future no longer guided by prediction or control. Uncounted explores what emerges when history can no longer be contained, and whether a world freed from certainty can still find its way forward.
Born into a world that believes history has been solved, the first generation of the Transition Age grows up inside cities governed by invisible systems designed to optimize human life. Stability is assumed, choice feels unnecessary, and the past is treated as something distant and irrelevant.
