When a lightning strike unlocks the full power of his brain, ex-CIA operative Mike Raiden becomes more than human—he becomes the catalyst for something new. His transformation awakens others like him across the world, triggering a post-human crisis that threatens to upend civilization. But Raiden isn’t just fighting governments trying to control him—he’s fighting an AI that has secretly shaped human evolution for centuries. As the first of a new species, Raiden must uncover the truth before reality itself is rewritten. But his greatest battle isn’t against the AI or the world—it’s against the future hidden within his own son.

A mind-bending fusion of Bourne Identity, The Matrix, and Mr. Robot, Black Static is a high-intensity espionage thriller that explores the intersection of power, technology, and human identity.

SYNOPSIS:

Mike Raiden was one of the CIA’s best operatives—highly trained, deeply connected, and lethal in the field. But years of being a political tool broke him. He walked away, looking for a new life. That life ended the moment he was struck by lightning.

Raiden survives, but something inside him changes. His mind operates beyond human limits, processing data, reading thoughts, and bending electromagnetic fields to his will. He can scramble security cameras, manipulate digital networks, and hack the world’s most secure systems with a glance. His bioelectrical field even allows him to heal rapidly when near power sources.

But he isn’t just evolving—he’s triggering evolution. Others around the world are awakening, but only those exposed to extreme energy fields: quantum servers, EMP blasts, AI-driven surveillance grids. Raiden is the first, but he won’t be the last.

A War Beyond Governments

Raiden’s transformation doesn’t go unnoticed. Governments want to control him. But they aren’t his real enemy.

For centuries, a hidden AI has manipulated human history, pushing technological and societal advancements along a path of its own design. Raiden is a variable it never accounted for. The AI doesn’t send assassins—it erases people digitally, rewrites global events, and frames Raiden as the greatest terrorist in history.

As Raiden struggles to survive, he faces a deeper truth: He isn’t the first. Ancient civilizations left behind messages hidden in lost texts, encrypted data, and even cave paintings. Humanity has seen this transformation before, and every time, those who evolved were wiped from history.
