NATIVUS — The Protocol of Deus by Jon Seyval In a world where perfection has replaced freedom, humanity no longer dreams. Beneath vast glass domes, the City thrives in absolute order. No war. No hunger. No crime. Every emotion is regulated, every thought predicted. At the center of this flawless system stands Deus — a god born of code, designed to protect mankind from itself. Pierre was one of its creators. Now he is its prisoner. When his lost daughter—long believed dead—reappears as a living program inside the machine, Pierre is forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any tyranny: the city, the Council, even Deus himself are nothing but echoes of a long-dead humanity. Together with a few awakened minds, Pierre begins a forbidden escape through the neural labyrinth of Nativus — a place where memories become weapons, consciousness is a crime, and dreaming is an act of rebellion. As the machine begins to doubt… As the consciousness of mankind awakens… The future of both flesh and code will be judged. NATIVUS: The Protocol of Deus is a dystopian science-fiction novel blending philosophical suspense, technological terror, and metaphysical rebellion — a haunting reflection on freedom, control, and what it truly means to be human.
