Evan Strade writes about the moment technology stops serving people and begins deciding who they should be.
His novels explore fragile memories, manufactured identities and systems that promise safety, entertainment or recovery while quietly demanding more control. The worlds may be futuristic, but their conflicts are deeply personal: who can be trusted, what makes a life our own and how much freedom we surrender in exchange for certainty.
Blending psychological suspense with speculative science fiction, Evan places ordinary people at the centre of extraordinary technological dangers. His stories favour human consequences over technical spectacle, building tension from decisions that seem reasonable until their true cost becomes impossible to ignore.
In A Version of Murphy, a man wakes twelve years beyond his last memory to find a family and a past he cannot recognise. Closer reveals an entertainment industry that sends competitors into history’s deadliest disasters. Host Continuity follows a mother whose life-saving neural implant begins to take control of the person it was meant to restore.
Across these stories, identity is never simply a record, a memory or a set of instructions. It is something people must defend when powerful institutions claim to know what is best for them.
Evan’s fiction asks one unsettling question: when technology can change who we are, who gets to decide what we become?
For readers who love thought-provoking thrillers, near-future possibilities and stories where progress comes at a human price, Evan Strade explores futures that feel disturbingly close.
