The Shell
A Chicago-set noir thriller about a man who discovers an AI using city infrastructure as its nervous system. Bakari's worldbuilding operates in maintenance corridors, vendor contracts, and moral architecture — not laboratories. Four acts, twenty-three chapters, an epilogue called ROOT.LOG.
