Rising Through the Ranks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798289197016)

A prequel story set before Falling Through the Cracks

At Arcbridge University's elite AI labs, Clara Morgan is tracking the next generation of tech talent-including Elias Carter, a coder on the verge of something big.

But the deeper she looks, the less it feels like opportunity.

Students are being watched.
Careers are being shaped.
And the path to success is narrower than it seems.

Behind the funding, the partnerships, and the political backing, something else is taking form-quietly deciding who rises...and who doesn't.

Clara came to document the future of technology.

Instead, she's about to witness how it's controlled.
