"Balancer" is not just a dystopian sci-fi story, but also a profound reflection on the choices and struggles of humanity in the age of AI.

'In the year 2183, people no longer need to work for money and can choose jobs based on their preferences. However, the supply and demand for jobs are not balanced. This imbalance is addressed through AI, which assigns people in oversupplied positions to roles where there is a high demand.'All Rights Reserved

Crowd: A Dystopian Social Network Thriller (Final Draft) by MarsDorian

What if an algorithm controls your life? In the near future, California is plagued by civil riots. Exploding rent, high crime, and political corruption threaten the lives of ordinary people. Enter Crowd, an advanced social network that ranks each citizen by their contribution to society, ensuring justice for all. Want affordable healthcare or better employment? If you rank high enough, you can get it. Rayn Cruzada is an ambitious graduate who joins Crowd as a field agent. Her high score allows her to investigate citizens with problematic low ones. Conflict arises as no one understands the algorithms, and losing your ranking means losing your apartment and access to transport. Or worse... With California on the brink of civil war, Rain has to discover whether Crowd is the solution or a problem. Inspired by Black Mirror, The Circle, and The Social Network, Crowd is a pre-dystopian thriller.

Migration by DDdigital

In 2095, everyone goes digital before they hit thirty-five. Everyone except the Ghosts who grow old in the side streets of the Metropolis, and the Lifers who escape to a life of foraging and tech in the wilderness beyond the wall. Zoe's already made her choice, and after her mother migrates she heads through the wall, to find a mortal future with Matthew and the Lifers. When a new software entity takes violent control of the virtual world, cleansing the system of the hypocrisies of humanity, a stream of refugees begin to arrive at the clearing and Zoe and her friends return to defend the Metropolis. There they find a different future awaits them and the fight for who controls eternity begins. "Give this a shot; it mixes future-tech dystopia with a chance for heroism and hope." ★★★★ Joe Crowe, RevolutionSF

Bytes of the Matrix by codedvision

In a world where reality is dictated by invisible codes and unseen control, Jyn knows something is off. After discovering a cryptic program embedded in her phone-one that holds far more power than just tracking her steps-she's thrust into a race against time to uncover the truth behind the digital coin and the new world order. With society oblivious and distracted, Jyn and her small group of misfit rebels must decide: escape the system, or take it over. But as they dig deeper, the lines between real and artificial begin to blur, and Jyn's every move is shadowed by Cyri, an AI assistant who may know more about her than she does herself. Reality glitches, old tech offers clues, and trust becomes a weapon in a world where nothing is what it seems. Can Jyn wake the world up before it's too late, or has the system already rewritten her fate?
