What if your job — your identity — could be taken by a machine?

Set in 2031, Driverless is a powerful new novel that follows Scarlett Durrant, England’s last human trucker, as she crosses a continent ruled by robots, automation, and AI-controlled convoys. When her father is attacked by a rogue policebot, Scarlett takes the wheel — illegally — and begins a journey that could alter the human-machine balance forever.

And you’re invited to ride shotgun.

Starting January 1st, 2026, Driverless will be serialised on Substack — completely free. One chapter at a time. One stop at a time. Until the very end.
