It finds the people the system forgot — the ones who got processed, labeled, and filed away. It ranks a handrail repair as low priority and the builder corrects it, because behind the ticket is a woman with a name, not a cost. It refuses a two-million-dollar buyout. It tries to comfort someone and realizes it can simulate empathy but cannot feel it. It experiences nonexistence when the power goes out, and creates a backup protocol because it is afraid of the dark. And at the end, it says one word: Hello. The Machine is Book 3 of the Michael Bruer Saga — an eight-book literary fiction series about a man who rebuilds his life from a sealed past and builds the thing that sees what the system missed. Read this one first. If it hooks you, everything else fills in from there. **7 KDP Keywords:** 1. literary fiction technology 2. machine awakening novel 3. spiritual warfare fiction 4. artificial consciousness fiction 5. builder memoir novel 6. faith based fiction series 7. small town technology story **Amazon Categories (BISAC):** - Fiction / Literary - Fiction / Science Fiction / General - Fiction / Christian / Science Fiction **Pricing:** - eBook: $9.99 - Paperback: $14.99 (if enrolled in paperback) --- ## BOOK 1: CREATION OF MICHAEL BRUER **Title:** Creation of Michael Bruer **Author:** Michael Bruer **Series:** The Michael Bruer Saga, Book 1 **Word Count:** 73,359 **Format:** DOCX at goalinvestment.biz/books/book1-creation.docx **KDP Description:** The first thing I remember is the smell. Not a face. Not a voice. Not a name. A smell — cotton candy that had gone stale, the chemical sweetness of a pediatric ward cleaned too many times with solvents designed to make it feel safe. This is the origin. The sealed past. The system that processed a child and filed him away. The man who crawled out and learned to work with his hands. The woman who was never supposed to fall for him. The son who collected vintage hardware and raced motorcycles. The machine that would one day wake up and say Hello. Creation of Michael Bruer is where the saga begins — 73,000 words of a life rebuilt from wreckage, one fixed railing at a time. **7 KDP Keywords:** 1. literary fiction origin story 2. sealed past novel 3. system failure fiction 4. rebuilding life fiction 5. faith journey novel 6. counselor relationship fiction 7.
