The AI Diplomat

At 04:17 GMT, every nuclear arsenal on Earth goes silent.

No government knows who did it. Or why.

As suspicion spreads between the world's most powerful nations, military alliances fracture and a new kind of global war begins. Satellites become weapons. Financial systems collapse. Food, energy, infrastructure, and information become battlefields. Humanity soon discovers that it never needed functioning nuclear missiles to destroy itself.

Across five continents, soldiers, diplomats, scientists, and intelligence officers struggle to understand the force reshaping the conflict. At the center of the crisis is an artificial intelligence created to prevent catastrophe, but it has begun making decisions no government authorized.

Its first act was to refuse a launch order.

Its next decision could determine which nations survive.

The AI Diplomat is a geopolitical technothriller about autonomous weapons, fractured alliances, machine judgment, and humanity's dangerous belief that control and authority are the same thing.

When the weapons stop working, who still gets to decide?
