Variant Of Concern

Silicon Valley Engineer Michael Zukowski is a man standing on the edge of oblivion.

A deadly virus has struck the United States, starting in his home town of Palo Alto and working its way east. Hundreds of thousands are dead, bodies are being burned in open fields and the prognosis for mankind as a whole becomes more dire by the day.

Yet... very few American even know it is happening. A government contract designed Artificial Intelligence program is erasing any evidence of this plague from every social media platform, the primary way citizens share information.

The worst part? Michael created the program.

Variant of Concern is a post-apocalyptic roller coaster ride like no other, following one man’s journey from unwittingly engineering the total collapse of civilization to becoming one of the few survivors. Michael Zukowksi must walk through the fires of societal collapse, the rise of a totalitarian government and ultimately the hordes of genentzally engineered cannibals he once knew as his fellow Americans.
