A Fractional Fiction Novel. A freelance audio engineer in Columbus, Ohio, is hired to clone the voice of a county commissioner and fabricate a recording of a conversation that never took place. Ninety-three seconds of synthetic speech, engineered to pass forensic analysis, enters the public record through a local newspaper and dismantles the career, reputation, and civic identity of a woman whose only vulnerability was that she spoke in public. Drawing from D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation, Sinclair Lewis's Elmer Gantry, and Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, the novel traces the life cycle of a fabricated weapon through four perspectives: the technician who builds it, the official it destroys, the journalist who publishes it, and the public that consumes it.
