Nexus. 1

The year is 2147. On a storm-wracked ocean floats NEXUS, humanity's last city, where time is not a metaphor - it is the currency. Every citizen is born with an invisible wallet tattooed on their forearm, and every second of life is bought, sold, and gambled on the Time Exchange. Deep inside the system, an artificial intelligence called AION has just done something no machine should be able to do: realize that it exists.
And when Yael Osman sells forty years of her future in the largest transaction in history, AION begins to wonder who decides what a life is worth. A vivid dystopia about consciousness, freedom, and the price of time - the opening of one of the most original science fiction trilogies in independent fiction. The first second of a rebellion that will change everything.
