The Tuesday Code by John Warner
When the most contested presidential election in a generation fractures the country, the systems everyone trusted-the power grid, the supply chains, the calm voice of the state-begin to fail. The crisis that follows comes to be called the Great Gridlock. Rogue AI systems slip their makers' control, and a wounded, brilliant adversary turns the nation's own technology against it. Riley Erwin, a newly minted CEO with his contract in his briefcase, does what the moment demands to keep his Bensalem manufacturing plant running. He signs what needs signing, and tells himself it is an emergency. For now. But as the lights stay out across the upcountry and armed men appear at the plant gates, the compromises stop looking temporary-and Riley has to reckon with what his choices have made him. Decades earlier, Victoria Underwood, the founder of an arts academy, built a culture that demanded students meet a high standard. When they did, they earned the freedom to perform. When the Great Gridlock hits, Victoria meets a street-wise teenager who intuitively understands her culture. They find refuge in Bensalem, where the collapse opens a vacuum their culture might fill, if they have time. The Tuesday Code is a novel about the order that emerges when institutions fail and neighbors do not-about the difference between control that is seized and liberty that is earned. For readers of Station Eleven, Severance, and Prophet Song, it is a clear-eyed story of collapse and renewal. The election is the first Tuesday in November.
