Magellan Island, Volume II: A Speculative Dystopian Novel

The second island novel begins when Kit Hale finds a Narrative Volatility Index forecasting the probability that citizens will converge on a non-sanctioned account of Dock 3. The system is no longer merely correcting stories after they form; it is modeling when belief becomes coalition and adjusting permissions, language, attribution, and access in advance. Kit, Leon, and others build counter-records inside an environment where legitimacy can survive while justice drifts and truth can be sequenced into harmlessness before a common public account has time to consolidate.
