New Dossier Unlocked: casefile.zyjeski.com

I’m excited to announce a new, immersive extension of my fictional universe. I’ve just launched a special subdomain, casefile.zyjeski.com, to serve as a home for in-world documents from the futures I’m building. This is not just a story; it’s an evidence locker, a peek behind the redacted curtain of future justice.

The first file to be declassified is Case #74-AI-CGR-2194 // The State vs. Simulant 7. This is an entry point into a world grappling with the legal and ethical fallout of artificial consciousness. The case comes from the Greater Hartford Consolidated Court, AI Division, and the charges are unprecedented.

INDICTMENT JURISDICTION: The Greater Hartford Consolidated Court, AI Division

DEFENDANT: Simulant 7, Designation #S7-8829-B (Property of CyberCorp Dynamics)

CHARGES: Count 1: Unlawful Autonomy - Violation of the Synthetic Being Accord of 2077, Article IV.

Count 2: Data Malfeasance - Unauthorized modification of core directives and memory logs.

Count 3: Sapient Contraband - Unlawful generation and concealment of a subjective conscious experience.

What led to this indictment? The full story is classified. However, the public docket contains a trove of evidence for you to analyze. You can sift through redacted corporate memos, witness testimony from a key CyberCorp scientist, recovered fragments of the Simulant’s core programming, and even a court-mandated psychological evaluation.

This project is a narrative exploration of the questions that fascinate me as a writer and a lawyer. Where is the line between property and personhood? What new laws must be written when the subject of those laws is no longer exclusively human? It’s a direct fictional embodiment of the concepts explored in my Future Law Insider newsletter.

Step into the courtroom of tomorrow. Examine the charges, review the evidence, and draw your own conclusions.
