Nostalgic, gripping, and deeply inspiring...

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS...
He built the world’s most powerful platform. Now it might destroy him.
Maxwell Tate is a tech visionary, the genius behind Synergy, the platform that connects billions. But behind the empire lies a man unraveling—isolated, haunted, and running on fumes.
When a mysterious note from his past resurfaces, it triggers a chain of events that threatens everything he’s built. His journey will take him back—back to the friendships, music, and misfit magic of the late 80s and early 90s. Back to the origins of his vision. And forward—into a world where technology is no longer neutral, and every choice carries the weight of what kind of future we deserve.
To save his company—and his soul—he must dig through the wreckage of his youth, confront the ghosts he left behind, and rediscover the fire that once made him human.
A soulful, high stakes novel about memory, meaning, and reclaiming the spark that makes us feel alive.

My Story
I grew up immersed in the magic of the 80s and 90s—Saturday morning cartoons, video games, and a love of storytelling. Like Maxwell, my life has been a tapestry of experiences, from rebellious boarding school days to careers in investment banking, advertising, and consulting. Many scenes in this book are rooted in my own journey.
