About Omni Reign
Omni Reign is an adventurous science-fiction novel set in a utopian future where Omni, an all-encompassing artificial superintelligence, governs humanity after a global climate event that left Earth covered under an eternal layer of rain clouds. To generate fair democratic votes, Omni lets its people constantly observe each other and reads out everyone’s emotions.
When Mark’s robotic surgeon botches up a cosmetic body modification under the observing eyes of his peers, they blame him for killing his client. Voted out of society, he is to be suspended in an eternal virtual dream so he won’t ever hurt anyone again. But what if he ignored appropriate medical procedures and hacked together a procedure to revive his client and save his own skin?
Running from justice, Mark joins Kéo, a seductive outlier on a mission to change humanity. She convinces him to join her team, a herculean techie and a classy quantum physicist, to develop his hack into a proper medical procedure that could revolutionize the way humans interact with Omni. But the most powerful people on the planet have other plans for Mark and his radical innovation.
***
In Omni Reign, neither artificial superintelligence nor meta-verse-like experiences or robots kill off humanity. They all work more or less as advertised, which might seem like a utopian future for some. But on an individual level, problems certainly still exist, and human extinction is by no means off the table.

I grew up in rural Switzerland, where the air tingles from nearby CERN. Surrounded by bandes dessinées, mangas, and books about the Apollo space mission, I dabbled in programming video games and web pages when modems were noisy. Later, I set out to study computer sciences but ended up graduating with a master’s degree in design research. Since, I’ve worked as an innovation researcher and startup consultant in Europe and Asia.
