Samuel Cooper has spent his adult life writing stories.But now he stands accused of something far more dangerous: claiming words that may not be entirely his own.In a courtroom gripped by fear, outrage, and a growing obsession with artificial intelligence, Samuel must defend not only his latest novel, but the very meaning of authorship itself.As the trial unfolds, the line between human creativity and artificial intelligence begins to blur, raising a disturbing question: Who truly has the right to decide what makes an author?*Provenance Burned* is a thought-provoking short story about creativity, judgment, and the consequences of a world increasingly unable to distinguish between man and machine.
