Elara Lindholm has spent years testing the seams of a life that feels too perfect to be fully her own.
When she is selected for the Fulcrum Institute, she steps behind that calm into a world of uploaded minds, hidden governance, carefully managed history, and the Steward: the superintelligent system that ended a devastating AI war and now holds the postwar order in place.
The Receipt Horizon is a post-AGI hard science fiction novel about emulated minds, civilizational consent, and the cost of disagreeing with a system that saved the world.
