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

When Davis Kennedy interviews at a mysterious new startup called Paradox Inc., he’s startled to find the venue is in the past. Silicon Valley’s emerging \"temporal engineering\" sector has just cracked time travel, and companies are racing to exploit it for productivity hacks that would make Steve Jobs’s head spin.

Despite initial hesitations, Davis takes the job—only to find himself at the center of a frenzied tech arms race to bring consumer time travel to market. As corporate recklessness fractures reality itself, Davis struggles to clean up his colleagues’ messes. Even worse, his billionaire founder isn’t just in it for the science—he has far more sinister plans. If he gains control of the future, it might already be too late to stop him.

Told in a mockumentary style with rotating POVs, PARADOX INC. follows Davis; Gloria, an executive at a rival tech firm battling time travel-induced chaos; and Lena, a journalist profiling Paradox Inc.'s founder, only to uncover a much larger conspiracy.

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
