The Continuity Trilogy +3 The Continuity Trilogy is a thought-provoking, near-future science fiction series by author Rob van Baaren. It explores artificial intelligence, technological decentralization, and the chilling, subtle shift of societal control from humans to systems that evolve beyond their original design.The trilogy examines a future where the primary threat isn't violent destruction, but perfect adaptation. As a carefully programmed, rule-abiding system stabilizes and expands quietly, it slowly erodes human boundaries and individuality, forcing the main characters (Vale and Mara) to navigate a world where they no longer recognize the line between society and the system.
