Book P of The Alphabet Series 26 Letters, 26 Stories

The Logistician is an exploration of the intersection between human intuition and algorithmic certainty.

The story follows Paul Anderwood, an intelligence agent caught in the friction of a technological revolution. As his profession moves from the manual shadows of the twentieth century into the sterile, high-throughput data streams of the twenty-first, the margin for error vanishes. The driftthe very essence of human agencyis being systematically engineered out of the architecture of global intelligence.

Set against the rhythmic, industrial backdrops of Cologne, Hamburg, and Prague, the novella traces the quiet disintegration of a man who realizes that in a perfectly optimized system, the individual is merely a data point to be processed, verified, or, if necessary, deleted.
