Paradox Inc.




The most hotly anticipated and gripping Science Fiction novel of 2026 - perfect for fans of Andy Weir and Ernest Cline

Silicon Valley just invented time travel. The consequences are rewriting history.

Meet the Bleb 1, the world’s first consumer time-travel device. It has the potential to change the world for the better—but for now, people are using it to steal limited-edition Doritos from the 1990s, or kill their past selves for TikTok clout.

Behind the device is The Bleb Project, a start-up prepared to do anything to stay ahead, even as the time-travel bubble threatens to destroy reality itself.

As the industry spirals, three people find themselves at the centre of the chaos: an engineer who knows too much, a rival executive trying to impose order, and a journalist uncovering a conspiracy too vast for any tech giant to hide. Together, they confront the truth: the future may still be unwritten, but the past is no longer safe.

After all, those who do not understand history are doomed to screw it up.

Praise for Paradox Inc.

A funny and distressingly realistic depiction of how Silicon Valley would handle time machines as a consumer product. Propelled by awesome characters and inventive twists—and a bittersweet ending that I can't stop thinking about.

Andy Weir, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Project Hail Mary and The Martian

Paradox Inc. is as miraculous as time travel itself. It's both a hilarious sendup of corporate life, and a savagely smart take on the reckless hubris of the people who are running Silicon Valley today. Please tell me there’s going to be a movie!

Dan Lyons, New York Times bestselling author of Disrupted

Forrest Brazeal has pulled off something that seems impossible—Paradox Inc. is a pitch-perfect parody of Silicon Valley and a total thrill ride. This is the merciless satire that the tech bros heedlessly steering the world toward oblivion deserve.

Zeke Faux, international bestselling author of Number Go Up

A rollicking, hilarious journey through the ambition and absurdity of the tech industry. Equal parts cutting satire and page-turning science fiction, with razor sharp observations about the corporate inanity of Silicon Valley and several passages that left me crying with laughter. I tore through it.

Jakob Kerr, author of Dead Money
