A future shaped entirely by women—
The year is 2325.
The world has never been so quiet—or so fragile. For centuries, the International Women’s Party has guided a global peace where war exists only as memory in neural archives.
​
Humanity has stabilized at half its former size, even as lifespans nearly doubled. Bots handle almost all labor. Intelligence is woven into homes, cities, and minds. Children are conceived with high-quality, manufactured sperm, regulated as a public health service.
​
In this carefully engineered order, men have become optional. Thirty percent of the population—mostly men—live without work, income, or purpose. Their historic roles replaced by robotics and bio-tech, they need to be housed, fed, and cared for in a world that no longer needs them.
The Goldilocks Effect follows Alicia de la Rosa, the youngest Global Leader ever elected and the tech genius behind The Stream, a neural system that stabilizes the world. When it begins to shift—imperceptible at first, then unmistakable—and her closest ally, the President of the South America Protectorate, is kidnapped, Alicia must act before it’s too late.
​
Despite her efforts, the crisis escalates into a global unraveling, and the exposing of a conspiracy rooted in Alicia’s past and threatening the future of the world women have spent centuries creating.
Alicia finds evidence of sabotage and an accomplice from her inner circle. At the center is a men's movement—organized, strategic, and composed of men who have grown tired of the status quo. Their protests are a cry for equality. Peter Luca, the leader of The Men's Liberation Party, becomes an uneasy partner with Alicia to bring the world back from the brink.

Arriving in 2026, The Goldilocks Effect is a propulsive new tech-thriller about trust, control, and the danger of chasing perfection. Blending cutting-edge science with high-stakes suspense, it challenges readers to rethink who holds power—and what happens when perfection backfires.
