SOFTWARE RUNS OUR WORLD, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO RULE OUR LIVES

A Life in I.T.

Human Software follows the two women competing against themselves, each other, and the realities of tech work, ambition, and family life against a backdrop of global uncertainty and corporate greed.

It explores how modern companies have failed to adapt to working with technology despite it being a core part of their business. It shows how human interaction is skewed by working with complex systems. It touches on themes of 24/7 culture, burnout, mental health, globalisation, AI, climate change, and the dehumanisation of work.

Human Software will be published on Leanpub in September 2025 and on Amazon on October 7.
