Everything has changed and we're never going back.

In a near-future dystopian America, "the Complex" starts nudging people into decisions they wouldn't make. Most people don't notice, but Acorn Riddle isn't most people. Forced to remain part of an elite SEAL unit, Acorn has a special set of skills. And a unique group of friends.

Set in the near-future, The Last American explores the intersections of AI and social engineering and paints a picture of some challenges Americans may soon have to face. The technologies and capabilities are ripped from the headlines and presented in a plausible tale of a romantic trapped in the present, and dreaming of the past.

--------------

After the third pandemic and the race wars, people learned to keep to their first circles. Too much had been lost. And then again, too much had been found. The Complex figured out how to quickly spin up new AIs and leverage their piles of data on regular citizens.

-- "Frighteningly plausible."

Acorn's world had seen too many changes. But when those changes threatened the very fabric of freedom, something had to be done. Something to keep the AIs and drones at bay and to quash the ever-listening, ever-watching devices. Something to protect the family's original homestead and the way of life Acorn loved.

But what can one man do to preserve those hard-won freedoms against the onslaught of a tech-infused world?
And what will life be like for the last American?

-- "We thought AI was after our jobs. Apparently it wants much more."

-- "This is not your grandfather's America, but it's not so far from where you live now."
