Phoenician Wave (human Os 1.0)

By (author) Imad Atalla

Short Description:

Phoenician Wave is a thriller series of speculative literary genre, and Human OS 1.0 is the first novel in the series about memory and human resistance in the age of AI and digital colonialism, with time-surfing twists along Phoenician navigation routes.

Description:

What if Big Tech didn't sell your data, but harvested your inner thoughts then re-licensed them back to you? What if the real coup didn't storm the Capitol, but rewrote your cravings from inside your fridge?

When American tech idealist Sam D'Alessandro uncovers a plot to turn human consciousness into a proprietary operating system, he's pulled into a shadow war between Silicon Valley demigods, national intelligence agents, Chinese cyber-saboteurs, and ancient indigenous wisdom. With the rogue help of a quantum time-surfer named Letro Zabzabi, a fearless Lebanese historian named Wardé Canaan, and the ghost of Steve Jobs, Sam ignites a mushroom-fueled rebellion to restore what the algorithm forgot. Together they must sabotage a mind-hacking codebase before it replaces memory with metadata, joy with metrics.

Human OS 1.0 is the first novel in the Phoenician Wave series — a genre-bending, subversive techno-epic for seekers and skeptics. It blends satire, philosophy, politics, and poetics into a strange brew for readers who like their fiction plugged into the real world, tuned to ancient frequencies, and allergic to corporate dystopias.

This is a story about the parts of the present we've stopped noticing.

Biographical Note:

Imad Atalla is a software entrepreneur and the former executive editor of Publio, an arts and literature print magazine on identity in transformation.

The Phoenician Wave is Atalla's attempt to surf memory, meaning, resistance, and corrective justice, with no helmet, no leash, and absolutely no exit strategy. The Wave is best left to idealists, prophets, or the uninsured souls who skip the fine print and can't swim.
