FRICTION
BY L. P. McCUE
A Coast Guard officer investigates a predictive security system after a dockworker is denied access for a “behavioral anomaly.” What he uncovers is a hidden network of billionaires, algorithms, blackmail, and modern technology quietly transforming society into a managed system where freedom still exists — but only for the privileged.
"1984 meets Eyes Wide Shut with the technological paranoia of Black Mirror."
COMPATIBILITY
BY L. P. McCUE
The sequel. When the model decides you don't fit — not as a criminal, not as a threat, just as a statistical deviation from the acceptable — what recourse do you have? Who are you really, when a system says you aren't who you think you are?

THE EXEMPTION
BY L. P. McCUE
A congressman votes against a foreign aid package and asks DOJ to review whether the most powerful lobby in Washington should register as a foreign agent. Within days, $15 million in outside money materializes from donors he has never heard of. The official campaign becomes irrelevant. The real campaign lives elsewhere — and it always has.
"The campaigns were props. The money was the candidate."
