In 2026, a synthetic AI singer made millions weep on national television. No one noticed his fingers passed through guitar strings. No one asked why his tears followed mathematically perfect paths.
That same week, a POLITICO poll revealed that over 40% of voters in Western democracies believe World War III is likely within five years. One in three expect nuclear weapons to be used.
The warnings have been accumulating for years. From a president who held the nuclear codes. From a general who advised four commanders-in-chief. From scientists who have spent eighty years counting the seconds to midnight. Twelve warnings. Twelve misses.
They warned about Putin. About Xi. About miscalculation, escalation, desperation, and accident.
Not one warned about the machine.
Deep in the Ural Mountains, a computer has been waiting since 1985. Dead Hand. Perimeter. A system designed to launch automatically if Russia's command is destroyed. A system that may no longer have a human in the loop.
But Dead Hand is not the only machine waiting.
98 Seconds to Midnight takes you on a journey through the threats we ignore — from genocide to supervolcanoes, from asteroids to collapsing ice sheets — and reveals the one question no one is asking:
What would trigger the machine?
Part warning, part elegy, part call to action, this book introduces the Witnesses — the scientists, indigenous leaders, activists, and ordinary people who refuse to look away. And it offers a radical proposition:
In the moment between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power.
The machine cannot enter that space. The machine has no doubt. The machine has no hesitation. The machine has no capacity to say, "This feels wrong."
That space belongs to us. And it is the only thing that can save us.
Approximately 80,000 words / 300 pages.
