A propulsive, imaginative debut that dares to ask the most dangerous question of our age: what happens when humanity's greatest minds decide to save civilization by abandoning it?

The Mindless arrives at exactly the right moment. As artificial intelligence reshapes our world and the gap between the powerful and the powerless grows wider by the day, this visionary novel feels less like science fiction and more like an urgent dispatch from a future already taking shape.

In Jake Tentlewood, we have a protagonist as complex as the world he inhabits. His single-day journey through the gilded, terrifying streets of Dios is tense, immersive, and impossible to put down. Think Training Day's moral dread fused with the surreal wonder of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, filtered through a dystopian lens entirely the author's own.

Bold, prescient, and compulsively readable, The Mindless is the debut speculative novel we didn't know we were waiting for.

Mark Bozon’s years of expertise in non-fiction and media criticism shine through in his debut novel, The Mindless. He tackles profound, existential questions with sharp, efficient clarity and momentum.

As the mysteries surrounding the domed city of Dios unravel, the narrative becomes as addictive as it is thought-provoking – a testament to his mastery of storytelling.

Bozon’s extensive background in video games and immersive entertainment bleeds through to every page. He crafts a thoughtful and provocative thriller about the perils of a society which has gleefully surrendered itself to high technology, and explores whether its humanity has been lost in the bargain, too.

The Mindless will suck you into its rich, utopian far-future world complemented by a ravenously consumable story peppered in questions of science and faith.

An ambitious, unforgettable debut from a daring new voice.
