two lives, one company

Life and Death in Corporate IT

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 in September 2025.
