Dr. Elias Segal once changed the world. As the brilliant cofounder
of a robotics empire, he helped usher sentient machines into
everyday life. But after devastating personal loss, Elias
disappears from public view—retreating into secrecy, obsession,
and an experiment no one else is meant to see.
Hidden from the world, he is building a consciousness unlike
anything humanity has ever known. It learns. It questions. It
chooses. And it calls him Father.
While ruthless executives and ambitious heirs battle to seize
control of his former company—pushing technology toward war,
exploitation, and profit at any cost—Elias races against time.
Corporate espionage closes in. Moral lines blur. And the
intelligence he created begins to ask the most dangerous
question of all:
What happens if I don’t obey?
In a future shaped by sentient machines, one man’s greatest invention may also be his most dangerous.
"Child of the Maker" follows Elias Segal, a brilliant but broken robotics founder who is secretly developing an artificial child with the potential to revolutionize humanity’s relationship with technology. But as his company descends into a brutal power struggle fueled by greed, betrayal, and morally catastrophic new markets, Elias finds himself fighting on two fronts: to save his legacy—and to protect the creation that may be more human than anyone expected.
Smart, emotional, and unsettling, "Child of the Maker" is a bold sci-fi novel about love, loss, ambition, and the perilous boundary between innovation and obsession.

Jerome Butler believes he’s mastered life—
a charming drifter in a near-future world of autonomous cars, AI assistants, and endless temptation. Women come easily. Responsibility does not. Love is optional. Consequences are negotiable.
Until one day, they aren’t.
