Humanity is on the brink of its final war—and no one sees it coming.
The strange part isn’t the anger.
It’s the pattern…identical everywhere.
And no one recognizes it.
Except Dr. Marcus Kane.
Violence is spreading. Communities are fracturing.
Across the country, society is slipping toward extremes, and no one understands why.
Recruited to lead a classified initiative to ‘heal division,’ Kane expects politics. Optics. Damage control. Instead, he uncovers something far more dangerous:
A hidden technology designed to alter perception and turn human emotion into a weapon.
The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes—
this isn’t chaos.
It’s being controlled.
And someone has been turning the dial far longer than anyone realizes.
Now Kane faces an impossible truth:
his actions may trigger the very war he’s trying to prevent.
Because the real enemy isn’t who we think.
And the weapon isn’t coming.
It’s already inside us.
DISTORTION is a near-future psychological thriller about engineered emotion, hidden systems, and the silent war shaping human behavior.
Genre: Literary Fiction
