The Author
Not maliciously.
Efficiently.
Charlie Kang writes near-future psychological thrillers at the intersection of neuroscience, institutional logic, and consent. Eighteen years inside healthcare systems. A computer science background. The Cortexa Consortium is fictional. The logic it operates on is not.
“A reader who finishes and thinks ‘I couldn’t have seen that coming — and yet it was inevitable’ has been successfully written.”
— Charlie Kang
